Indore Civic Body Approves Monument, Link Road And Tax Reforms
Indore’s city council made several decisions about improving the city.
It approved a new monument at Palasia Square.
It also approved a road connecting Kanadia Road with Khajrana Temple.
Some projects will be built or operated with help from private companies.
The council wants to make property paperwork simpler.
People with proper ownership documents may be able to open property-tax accounts even in illegal colonies.
However, taxes will not be collected on government land that has been encroached upon.
The council also approved new food hubs, markets, traffic signals and support for Ganesh festival activities.
Indore’s Mayor-in-Council approved an “Akhand Bharat” monument at Palasia Square through corporate social responsibility participation.
A link road from Kanadia Road to Khajrana Temple and several other infrastructure projects received approval.
The council decided to simplify property mutation and allow tax accounts for documented private properties in illegal colonies.
PPP projects include swimming-pool operations, coconut-waste processing, a flyover smart hub and traffic-signal installations.
Ganesh procession incentives for participating akhadas were increased from Rs 15,000 to Rs 21,000.
