City Survey Not Completed in Bhandara Even After 60 Years, Affecting Civic Facilities

In the city of Bhandara, Maharashtra, the city survey, which is essential for upgrading civic facilities, has not been completed yet. This survey, which was initiated about 60 years ago, has not been completed to date. Officials claim that this delay is hindering the development of the city's infrastructure. The city survey involves creating a detailed plan of various areas of the city, including the development of roads, water, sewage, and other public facilities. Local citizens and officials state that this delay is causing numerous problems in the city. For instance, some areas of the city still have old and dilapidated roads, while other areas face water scarcity. Additionally, the sewage system is inadequate, leading to waterlogging and sanitation issues. Municipal corporation officials stated that the lack of necessary funds and resources is the primary reason for the delay. Furthermore, the lack of coordination between various departments is also obstructing the completion of this task. They also mentioned that a discussion was recently held with senior officials regarding this matter, and efforts are being made to complete the survey as soon as possible. Local political parties and social activists have also raised this issue, stating that it is challenging to plan the city's development without a city survey. They have appealed to the government to take prompt action in this matter.
