The meeting decided that after getting the acceptance of municipal committee, the proposal sent to district planning committee and then to the State government within 10 days for further action. 

The district collector has sent the proposal to the principal secretary of urban administration and development department Bhopal on September 12, 2014 but no advance payment was made to Doshiyan Company to complete the work.
