KoPT clears funds for road project

Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT)
Ensuring top-class road infrastructure in areas that falls within its jurisdiction, the Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) has recently allocated Rs.45 crore for the development of city roads, said an official spokesperson. KoPT was planning to take up the repair and renovation work of a 10 km stretch, covering Transport Depot Road, Oil Installation Road, New Road, Hoboken Road, Strand Bank Road and Kantapukur Road, at a cost of Rs.24 crore. Despite an economic slowdown, the KoPT authority had spent Rs.6 crore in the fiscal 2015-16 to repair another stretch of 10 km, covering Taratala Road, Hide Road and Circular Garden Reach Road, for the benefit of local people and port users. Last fiscal too, the repair and renovation work was undertaken over a stretch of 5-km route - Coal Deck Road, Sonai Road and Sonarpur Road - at a cost of Rs.15 crore, he claimed.
