Mumbai: BMC Seeks CSR Partners for Cycle Track Maintenance
The Mumbai government built a cycle track along a water pipeline.
It cost a lot of money, but not many people use it.
The government wants to keep it clean and safe, but they don't have enough money.
So, they're asking companies to help pay for the maintenance, through CSR.
The companies can't do anything to make money from the track.
The track should always be free for people to use.
BMC seeks CSR partners for the cycle track's two-year maintenance.
The 18.6 km track runs from Sion to Mulund.
Built in 2020, the track is underutilized and faces issues like encroachment.
The track was built on land cleared after removing encroachments along the Tansa pipeline.
Interested firms must adhere to conditions, including no commercial activities and public accessibility.
