VMC folated tenders for the project on March 12, 2020
Vadodara: The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) is set to make another attempt to get the Vishwamitri Project rolling. After a series of consultations with other departments and agencies, the civic body has identified an agency for preparing a detailed project report (DPR) for the project.
VMC had prepared a preliminary DPR much on the lines of the Sabarmati Riverfront about a decade back, but no progress could be made as concerns were raised regarding proposed work on Vishwamitri. Various issues were also raised before the National Green Tribunal (NGT).
The idea of a riverfront took a backseat and the VMC had to limit its plans to river rejuvenation, flood mitigation, biodiversity and related aspects.
