BMC council meet after 3 months, but civic issues nowhere on agenda
Bhopal: The forthcoming Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) council meeting continues to sidestep pressing public concerns like deteriorating roads and monsoon drainage problems.
According to sources, the agenda centres on new immersion ghats, Amrut 2.0 initiatives, and location naming matters. The corporation has distributed the meeting agenda to all councillors for the July 24 session. As part of the upcoming council agenda, there's a proposal to rename Old Ashoka Garden to Ram Bagh, and to designate the junction near Vivekanand Park as Vivekanand Chowk.
The meeting at ISBT, commencing on July 24, will begin by acknowledging sanitation workers and residents for Bhopal's achievement of second position nationally amongst cities.
Seasonal greetings for Sawan and upcoming festivities will follow. A 60-minute question session precedes the primary agenda discussion. The administration has already issued the formal agenda.
The council convenes after a three-month and 21-day interval, with the previous meeting held on April 3, despite bi-monthly meeting requirements. The MIC holds authority to postpone council meetings up to one year. The opposition Congress party continues submitting appeals to the divisional commissioner for regular council sessions.

BMC chairman Kishan Suryavanshi requested BMC commissioner Harendra Narayan via correspondence to address waterlogging, road conditions, drainage maintenance and ward-level sewage concerns for residents' monsoon convenience.
The agenda includes establishing immersion facilities at four city locations, recently approved by the Mayor-in-Council. New sites are planned at Barkatullah University campus, Neelbadh, Sanjeev Nagar, Malipura and Prempura, requiring Rs 25.08 crore. Additional items include Amrut 2.0 tenders and renaming Old Ashoka Garden to Ram Bagh and Parihar Chauraha to Vivekanand Chowk.
The opposition seeks discussion regarding the public toilet fee increase from Rs 6 to Rs 10 across 25 facilities, suggesting improper implementation benefiting Sulabh International.
