The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has chalked out massive plans to make the capital city clean, green and colourful well before the Hockey Men’s World Cup-2018 to be held in November-December.
According to the plans, the BMC would have 80-km stretch of main road under mechanical sweeping for which tender process has already been initiated. Similarly, there would be nearly 100 e-toilets with auto-cleaning facility across the city.
To ensure better drainage system, there would be temporary measures to end the water logging plights. Once the plan is available, the major roads and their sides will have an efficient way to remain sans water.
“We will also take up cleaning of the basins of the 10 natural drainage channels criss-crossing the city’s spread. The work will be over latest by the second week of June,’’ said a senior BMC official.
like the success of beautifying the city during the Asian Athletics Championships -2017, the State Government has decided to decorate the city with a central theme of hockey.
The artists would work to paint the city with their creative ideas cantered around Hockey.
These apart, there would be a pan city transport with more number of city buses and non-motorised alternatives. While the Capital Region Urban Transport would have 200 new buses besides 110 old buses, the State capital will have a robust fleet of 319 buses before the mega event. Similarly, there would be more than 200 bus queue shelters (bus stops) across the city so that more and more people will use the public transport service.
