Hey lekshmi..The initial cost of this project was estimated as Rs 1447.91 crore. Seven stretches have been dropped out but the cost has not reduced. This is because the delay factor balanced it and added more cost to the original cost. Currently, the revised cost of this project is around Rs 1475.43 crore.

It was a tough time for the civic body...Earlier traffic police use to disturb contractors working on the sites. This led to many struggles between the civic body officials and police at several sites. Police imposed restriction of not working more than four hours at night along many stretches. Contractors stopped working at the sites as they required more time.

Hi..Sundar ..yes the construction work of storm water drains across 20 key stretches hase been resumed few days back. It was delayed for a long time as traffic police had fear of traffic congestion due to digging work at roads.
