What the government approved
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (TP.II) Department, through G.O.(D) No.33 dated 27 January 2015, approved infrastructure works in Town Panchayats under the NABARD assisted Rural Infrastructure Development Fund XX scheme for 2014-15.
The administrative sanction covers:
- Improvement of 260 rural roads in 226 Town Panchayats.
- Construction of 28 bridges in 25 Town Panchayats.
- A combined estimated cost of Rs.86.56 crore.
- Road works listed in Annexure I and bridge works listed in Annexure II.
How the approved programme changed
The Director of Town Panchayats initially proposed 407 works costing Rs.150 crore. These comprised 273 road works, 29 bridges and 105 storm water drain works.
The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development informed the government that storm water drains were not an eligible activity under the Rural Infrastructure Development Fund. It requested withdrawal of the 105 drain works, estimated at Rs.34.68 crore, and submission of other eligible projects.
The Project Sanctioning Committee subsequently sanctioned a Rural Infrastructure Development Fund loan of Rs.92.06 crore for 272 rural roads and 29 bridges. The final administrative sanction was limited to 260 roads and 28 bridges because the model code of conduct was in force in Tiruchirappalli and Pudukottai districts.
Who may be affected
G.O.(D) No.33 dated 27 January 2015 mainly affects residents, road users, Town Panchayats and public authorities responsible for the listed road and bridge projects. Annexure I identifies individual road works by district, Town Panchayat, location, length and estimated cost.
