Amrut 1.0 Rollout Delayed: Six ULBs Urged to Speed Up Work
The Amrut 1.0 project, aimed at improving city services, is facing delays because some cities haven't paid their share of the money.
Six cities, including Ayodhya, are behind schedule.
These cities owe a total of Rs 90 crore, which is stopping the project from finishing.
The government is now going to give these cities the money they need, but they will have to pay it back slowly over the next ten years.
This should help the cities finish the projects and start new ones to improve services for people living there.
The cities involved are located in Uttar Pradesh.
Six ULBs in Uttar Pradesh are asked to expedite work on the Amrut 1.0 rollout.
These ULBs have not paid their share of funds, totaling Rs 90 crore.
Ayodhya Municipal Corporation is among the cities flagged for falling behind schedule.
Mirzapur and Unnao nagar palikas have the highest outstanding amounts.
The urban development department will provide funds and recover them over 10 years.
