The State Cabinet on Monday gave the nod for preparing the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of Bhopal-Indore metro service. Besides, the Cabinet also endorsed the proposal regarding renewal of government land patta for 30 years.
Sources said that on receipt of approval from the Cabinet for preparing the DPR for the metro project, the work would be accelerated. Besides, the decision to renew the pattas of government land for 30 years would also facilitate the citizens. Notably, thousands of lease renewal applications were lying pending due to delay in taking the decision in this regard.
The Cabinet also approved opening of 500 sub-health centres of the NRHM. Besides, the Cabinet also discussed the issue of MP Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) scam. The strategy to face the attacks of the Congress members and how to counter-attack them, was prepared. It was also proposed that the autonomy status of MPPEB should be abolished and it should be governed by the General Administration Department (GAD). However, no decision could be taken over the issue. The Cabinet decided to provide land to the IT companies on concessional rates. The issue of providing speedy justice to the rape victims was also discussed, besides creating 132 new posts in different departments.
