Q:I'm most probably going to have to move to Indore and I want to know a little more about the new infrastructure projects that are going to be undertaken here. Does the Indore Municipal Corporation have big plans for revamping the city?

Few days back Lok Sabha Speaker and local MP Sumitra Mahajan, on Monday called on Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan in the State capital and discussed various city-centric issues with him. issues like purification of two rivers so that the devotees won’t face any problems during the Simhastha fair.

Q:Hey so I might have to relocate to Piplyahana and I don't know much about the locality, but I've heard that it faces many sewage problems and waterlogging issues? What has the Indore Municipal Corporation done about these issues?
Latest Answer: Hi all,
I would like to tell you that the Rs 432-crore project, which was launched by BJP patriarch Lal Krishna Advani on February 25 in the presence of senior BJP leaders Sushma Swaraj, former BJP chief Nitin Gadkari, Yog guru Baba Ramdev and Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan seems to have been forgotten by the state government.
Latest Answer: It's quite ironic because Indore has half the rainfall as compared to last year. Only 15% of it. And I don't think you should be blaming the IMC for every bad thing that happens in Indore because the citizens are equally responsible to the water logging problem. If they keep throwing garbage on the streets and plastic bottles, cans, food waste, wrapper, and what not, then the drains are bound to get water logged. Arre this mess is going to pollute our underground water also. But the IMC should have immediately demolished the 100 dilapidated buildings they listed before the monsoon. Only after a wall collapsed at Khatipura, that they immediately swung to action and demolished all the buildings. Mayor Mogdhe has already stated that the civic authorities are cleaning all the drains but despite this some minor problems will still remain. I'm sure in a few days, IMC will take care of a major chunk of the clean up work.
Q:Does the Municipal Corporation still have plans of chopping down 199 trees for developmental projects in the city? Won't this affect the potential real estate in Indore?
Latest Answer: That is really great! Any project facing trees for obstacles, now need to know the number of trees in the project area as well those coming in the way of the project. Then they have to provide satisfactory answers as to why they want the trees cut down. Permission to do so will only be granted if the project transplants the trees. Also a fee would have to be paid to the municipal commissioner. So all this has made it all the more difficult for people to cut trees yay! There's also going to be a tree census in all of Indore where all trees having more than 30 cm circumference and taller than 1 metre are counted and put under the Global Positioning Scheme where they will be henceforth monitored! :)
