Gandhinagar: The Gujarat government today announced Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel’s decision to allocate an additional ₹2 crore to each MLA in municipal corporation areas for roadworks in their constituencies.

MLAs in municipal areas receive grants from the Urban Development Department for constructing new concrete or asphalt roads, resurfacing old roads, and installing paver blocks in areas where asphalt or concrete roads cannot be built within the municipality’s constituencies. In addition to the Urban Development Department grant, the Chief Minister has approved an extra ₹2 crore per MLA from the Roads and Buildings Department for roadworks.

The Roads and Buildings Department will allocate a total of ₹86 crore to 43 MLAs in municipal corporation areas for this purpose. This decision by the Chief Minister aims to enhance urban well-being by facilitating the prompt repair of road damage caused during the monsoons. The improvements and strengthening of roads will also enhance urban mobility. Municipal corporations are instructed to execute these projects in consultation with the respective MLAs. DeshGujarat
