G.O. (D) No.493, Infrastructure and Amenities Fund for Gandhi Nagar Road, 2017
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (TP.2) Department issued G.O. (D) No.493 dated 20 December 2017, sanctioning Rs.1,25,00,000 from the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund for laying a B.T. surface road in the Gandhi Nagar area of Zamin Uthukuli Town Panchayat, Coimbatore District. The sanction covers a 2.710 kilometre road project and does not approve the other road and drainage proposals listed in the document.
What the government approved
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (TP.2) Department, through G.O. (D) No.493 dated 20 December 2017, approved Rs.125 lakh for laying a B.T. surface road over 2.710 kilometres in the Gandhi Nagar area of Zamin Uthukuli Town Panchayat. The money is sanctioned from the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund.
The Commissioner of Town and Country Planning reported that Zamin Uthukuli Town Panchayat, near Pollachi, had limited income that was insufficient for regular maintenance of roads and storm water facilities. The Infrastructure and Amenities Committee considered the Gandhi Nagar proposal and decided to sanction the requested amount.
Projects considered
G.O. (D) No.493 records a wider proposal from the Director of Town Panchayats totalling Rs.995 lakh. It listed:
- Gandhi Nagar B.T. surface road, 2.710 kilometres, estimated at Rs.125 lakh.
- Chellamuthu Nagar B.T. surface road, 4.022 kilometres, estimated at Rs.210 lakh.
- Zamin Uthukuli B.T. surface road, 3.535 kilometres, estimated at Rs.165 lakh.
- Chellamuthu Nagar drainage and culvert works, 8.044 kilometres, estimated at Rs.260 lakh.
- Zamin Uthukuli drainage and culvert works, 7.070 kilometres, estimated at Rs.235 lakh.
Only the Rs.125 lakh Gandhi Nagar road work is sanctioned by G.O. (D) No.493.
Who it affects
G.O. (D) No.493 directly concerns Zamin Uthukuli Town Panchayat, the Director of Town Panchayats, the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning, and the government accounting authorities responsible for the sanctioned expenditure. Residents and property owners in Gandhi Nagar may be affected by the approved road work, but the document does not set out any land acquisition, ownership transfer, development restriction or change of land use.
Funding and administration
G.O. (D) No.493 directs the Director of Town Panchayats to act as the estimating, reconciling and controlling authority. The expenditure is treated as a New Service for which legislative approval will be obtained. Pending that approval, the Director was directed to calculate the amount required and seek a Contingency Fund advance from the Finance (BG.I) Department.
The Director of Town Panchayats must also provide the government order and expenditure details to the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning for the required accounting adjustments through the Accountant General at the end of the financial year 2017-18.
