In a media release, Mr. Shekhar said that the project received administrative approval in 2011 and the project cost was ₹ 110 crore at that time.
“The project was not implemented for various reasons. Meanwhile, the project cost has escalated to ₹ 170 crore. I have requested the Urban Development Minister to release the required funds under special grants,” Mr. Shekhar said.
