Though the civic administration had announced the formation of a budget monitoring committee and formed special squads for improving revenue collection, the authorities could not take it further. No reports could be placed before the corporation council on these initiatives

It always happens. The government announces things, and doens't follow them through. Central assistance for many projects, including the financial assistance from the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, had lapsed. The Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project was yet gain momentum.

Even i have to agree with the comments below m., Though the Mayor had repeatedly spoken about resuming the construction of the office complex, the civic administration could not succeed on it. The Atlantis rail overbridge project also met with the same fate.

Yes, all these years, the civic administration could not take a decision regarding the existing treatment pant. Barring a few meetings convened for updating the master plan, the preparation and modification of the document reached nowhere and same was the case with Thammanam-Pullepady and Mamangalam-Pottakuzhy road projects.

I disagree, the civic administration failed in major areas of public governance, including public health care and infrastructure development. “Most of the projects announced with much hype ended up nowhere. The local body seems to have lost direction regarding major projects such as the management of the solid waste treatment plant at Brahmapuram and the master plan for the city.

I wanted to tell you that the septage treatment plant at Brahmapuram has also been completed. The local body fulfilled its promise of upgrading a large number of city roads under the guarantee scheme.

Did you know that a few projects proposed by the local body have been included in the Urban 2020 project of the State government. The renovated Town Hall will be thrown open shortly, so that should help in shutting down the nay-sayers.

Yeah, that's not all, the e-governance project has also been soft-launched. The preparation of a detailed project report, including the abattoir and storm water management for West Kochi, is currently under way. It's not all bad, in my personal opinion.

The local body succeeded in re-laying a large number of city thoroughfares with bitumen macadam cement concrete and laying inter-locking tiles for longer life. White topping of roads, as promised, would begin soon. Atleast that is a little reassuring, right?

Sadly, many announcements made by Deputy Mayor B. Bhadra last year in her budget speech remain non-starters though the civic administration has made some gains in terms of project implementation in select sectors. That is really a bad
