THE Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has transitioned into a proactive ‘Action Mode’ to accelerate city development and bolster its financial standing. During a TimeLimit (TL) meeting held at the ISBT headquarters, the Municipal Commissioner unveiled a comprehensive roadmap designed to eliminate administrative inertia. The new strategy focuses on fixing official accountability and reviving stalled revenue-generating projects across the State capital. With an aim to strengthen the corporation’s fiscal health, the Commissioner has issued stringent directives to the Revenue Department.

 

A special review meeting scheduled for December 29 will scrutinise the progress of revenue officers appointed at the Assembly-constituency level. Furthermore, the BMC has decided to immediately restart all defunct parking lots across the city. This move is expected to streamline urban traffic management while providing a significant boost to the civic body’s coffers. BMC to T a k e O v e r Musical Fountain The Rs 8.5-crore M u s i c a l Fountain at Boat Club, which had remained nonfunctional for an extended period due to a lack of coordination with the Tourism Department, is set for a revival.

 

The BMC has decided to take over the direct operation of the facility. The Commissioner has ordered an expedited process to reopen the fountain for the public, a move anticipated to rejuvenate the city’s tourism sector.
