He gave these directions while presiding over a review meeting of the ongoing work of utility ducts with the Public Works Department here today. During the meeting, CM said that Rs. 145 crore was being spent to construct utility ducts, spanning in seven kilometers from Chhota Shimla to Willy’s Park of Shimla town. He also directed the department to expedite the work and complete it within the fixed timeframe.
“Shimla being not only the state capital but also a major tourist destination, attracts lakhs of tourists every year. Therefore, the city must be free from clutter of overhead cables to offer better experience for the tourists and this project will be a major attraction to further boost tourists inflow in Shimla” said the CM.
He added that Shimla is known as the queen of hills and its glory must be maintained.
“The utility duct would extend from Chhota Shimla to Willy’s Park, Secretariat via Lok Bhawan to Oak Over and from Sher-e-Punjab through Lower Bazar up to CTO and further up to Willy’s Park. These ducts would accommodate underground electric and water lines along-with other utility cables and will enhance the aesthetic appeal of the city” he said.
