Cash-strapped Chd MC looks for ways and means to boost revenue
Chandigarh: No other development agenda, except the laying of a pipeline to supply water to the newly built houses of judges in Sector 10, was taken up in UT MC's monthly finance and contract committee (F&CC) meeting here Friday.
With MC long facing an acute shortage of funds, F&CC members deliberated upon ways and means to boost revenue.
Among some of the committee's suggestions were promoting art and cultural activities at Sector 17 Plaza during the weekends. They suggested that the open space could be given on rent to event organisers for cultural programmes and exhibitions, thereby transforming the plaza into a vibrant community hub while generating additional revenue for the civic body.
The officers concerned were directed to explore and present actionable plans for the same.
The committee also reviewed smart solutions for managing paid parking lots across the city. Detailed discussions were held to enhance public convenience and streamline parking services.
The F&CC revised the professional fee structure for advocates handling legal matters related to the integrated command and control centre . The new fee has been fixed at Rs 3,000 per case to assist the nodal officer in the district & sessions court in the tricity.
