Friday that six master plans would be prepared for the implementation of
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). He was speaking at
an interaction with the mayor, councillors and city MLAs on implementation
of JNNURM.
The six master plans would deal with traffic management, solid waste
management, storm water drains, flood management, environment and the road
grid. Jairaj said that the projects under the centrally sponsored mission
would help address the infrastructure problems of a fast growing city. A
specific programme for the welfare of the urban poor would form part of the
mission, he said.

poor.

rest would come from the Centre and the State. Basavanagudi MLA K
Chandrashekhar said that the City needed a scientific traffic management
study so that the infrastructure could be developed to synchronise with the
demand.

Babu, Binnypet MLA V Somanna, UDD principal secretary Laxmi Venkatachalam,
mayor Mumtaz Begum, deputy mayor M Laxminarayana and leader of ruling party
