Hidco floats tender for construction of tunnel in Kolkata
The Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (Hidco) in Kolkata has floated tenders to engage a consultant to conduct feasibility and cost study for the construction of an underground utility tunnel in the New Town in Kolkata. The authorities are planning to lay all underground utilities together with proper infrastructure. They have identified a 4.5-km stretch in the central business district of New Town to set up the utility tunnel. They are planning to set up an underground corridor of around six feet height, which will carry water supply and sewerage pipes, fire hydrants, telephone lines, electricity cables, television cables and other utility networks. These lines can be repaired with easier access and the road surface will not have to be dug for the work. New Town will be the only city in India to have such a facility.
