JNNURM Project Reports Are Now On The Internet

Dr. T.N. Manjunath, Member, Mysore Grahakara Parishat writes


Mysore Grahakara Parishat has been meeting with MCC officials for the last six months to get the Detailed Project Reports of the various JNNURM projects on the internet so that the people of Mysore, who are the real stakeholders can get to know what they are paying for (Even though the Central and State governments meet 90% of the cost of JNNURM Projects, MCC and hence the taxpayers of Mysore have to foot the remaining 10% of the bill).

Most of these project reports have now been put on the internet. They are available at http://www.jnnurm.mysorecity.gov.in. The public of Mysore can go through them and voice their opinions about these projects.

The public of Mysore have been asked to submit their opinions and objections concerning the agreement MCC has signed with JUSCO to remodel the water supply system in Mysore. The DPR of this project is also on the above website. MGP members met Mr. H. Honne Gowda, EE and Mr. M. Ramachandraiah, AEE of Vani Vilas Water Works today and requested them to put the actual contract signed with JUSCO on the internet. They have agreed to do so within a day. These documents will help the public of Mysore to understand the agreement and to voice their opinions and objections.
