KMC pilot project to put overhead wires underground on Park Street

Posted on | by aitc | Leave a Comment on KMC pilot project to put overhead wires underground on Park Street

Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) will undertake a pilot project on Park Street with the idea of putting all overhead wires underground. Wires hanging from lampposts, trees and every vantage point are an eyesore in the city’s skyline, and hence the decision.

It will be done in conjunction with the State Urban Development & Municipal Affairs Department and a number of agencies like cable service MSOs (multiple system operators), CESC, BSNL and similar stakeholders who have overground wires.

After the pilot is completed, similar projects, with whatever modifications required, will be undertaken all across Kolkata.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, while addressing MSOs and cable operators during a meeting last April, had asked them to clean up the mess of wires and had urged all stakeholders, including the KMC, Public Works Department (PWD) and utility services, to chalk out a suitable plan.

Sultan Ahmed raises Question on Revival of Sick PSUs

Posted on | by admin2 | Leave a Comment on Sultan Ahmed raises Question on Revival of Sick PSUs

Sawal hai sick PSU. Deshbhar me 65 Public Sector Undertakings me 11 Bengal me ateh hai – Tyre Corporation, National Jute Manufacturing, Hindustan Cable, Burn Standard.

Desh ke awal PSUs me inka shumar kisi jamane me hota tha. Lekin aaj unke hazaro hazar workers bhukmari me unke din guzar rahe hai.

Is sarkar ne bahut hi swatchata and inamdari sath jo coal auction wagera ka kaam shuru kiya hai, kya is tarah ka parikalpana hai ane wale dino me yeh PSUs ko bhi auction ke zariye ho, yea FDI lakar ho – Foreign Direct Investment lakar ho inko revive karne hai kyuki yeh dekha ja raha hai hazaro hazar crore rupaiya salana kharch hote hai, tankhaye di jati hai, lekin kam kuch nehi ho rahe hai.

Kya sarkar ne koi parikalpana banaya hai, mai maniye mantri se puchna chahata hu.

 

Translation :

I would like raise a Question on Revival of Sick PSUs. In the Country there are about 65 public sector undertakings out of which 11 are in Bengal – Tyre Corporation, National Jute Manufacturing, Hindustan Cable, Burn Standard. At one point of time they were leading PSUs of the Country. But now, thousands of their workers are living in hunger and poverty.

This Government with a lot of transparency and honesty has undertaken projects like coal auction etc. Does it have any such plans in the near future to auction these PSUs or bring in FDI to revive these industries, as thousands of rupees are spent, but there is no outcome.

I would like to question the Minister what is the Government’s plan on this?
