Ahmedabad's BRTS route to get green look

In a bid to make the newly-constructed BRTS route from Narol to Naroda Patia green, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has budgeted Rs 24 lakh. Saplings will be planted on BRTS median and traffic island on the route. Recently, AMC floated tenders for 60,511 sq metre of area on BRTS route from Narol-Naroda expressway junction-Viratnagar-Naroda Patia. According to AMC officials, the contractor will be given 75 days for development of stretch and they have to maintain it for two years. However, the plantation on the operational route from RTO to Maninagar is in shambles. A senior AMC official said, “We are making sure that these BRTS stretches are landscaped in a better way and proper monitoring will be done to see that the planted trees are maintained well.”
