GAYA: The Gaya Municipal Corporation (GMC) administration has decided to temporarily allot 5x4ft space to each vendor on K P Road to run their businesses and get the footpath free from encroachments. In case of encroaching the road, a penalty ranging between Rs5,000 and Rs20,000 will be imposed on the rule violators. The GMC has plan to allot space to more than 300 vendors.
Gaya deputy mayor Akhauri Onkarnath alias Mohan Shrivastava said the ongoing work to widen the GB Road and the KP Road in the town area is aimed at easing traffic congestion. “Widening of GB Road from Peer Mansoor Mor to New Godown Mor is complete, while work on KP Road is going on. Now, the GB Road will be 60ft and the KP road 90ft wide. The widening work is being done with an estimate cost of Rs6 crore,” he said.
“As per the beautification plan, there will be a median strip on KP Road for street lights. On GB Road, street lights have already been installed. For beautification purpose, plantation will be done on the KP Road median,” he said.
“There is also a proposal to shift the roadside electric poles to the median strip on KP Road and on one side of the GB road,” Shrivastava said.
