“The rapid ongoing urbanization has started to reveal its negative impacts in
our municipality. Vacant lands are being built upon wherever available
resulting in the increase of hard surface all across the municipality. Looking at
this scenario the municipality has decided to reserve specific open spaces as
no built area which are to be developed strictly as parks. There are
innumerable benefits of open green spaces. Most significant would be its
contribution of purifying surrounding polluted air and as well supplying
sufficient oxygen. Then the presence of trees and dense foliage reduce
temperature around the local area and helps to deal with heat islands that
has become a major issue of current urban settlements. It also helps to trap
moisture and heat resulting in cooling of the place. Open spaces acts as a
place of community gathering and increase social cohesion among residents,
while the children of the locality get the opportunity of playing outside from
their home. Thus the list could be endless if all the benefits of open space are
understood properly. Taking into account the importance of green spaces the
municipality is undertaking a project called the Greencity for implementing in
our municipality. The DPR has already been completed and once funding is
available we would start the project in due course of time.
The municipality would also like to reiterate to all concerned parties to stop
manufacturing of carry-bags/plastic films, which is less than 50 micron; else
the facility will be shut down. Violation of this would be strictly addressed
with appropriate financial and other punitive action“

contributed towards the declaration of Open
Defecation Free (ODF) district of North 24
Parganas, the municipality is keeping a strict
vigil to ensure that the toilets built are being
used by the beneficiaries. Accordingly
information has been communicated to the
respective ward representatives to report
instances of open defecation even after the
presence of new latrines that were
constructed under the Nirmal Bangla scheme.

reprimanded. Although it is a fact
that several beneficiaries had to
cancel their allocation of the latrine
due to unavailability of space, since
majority of the toilet less household
was located in densely built slums,
and also in areas where there was
very not much vacant space left.
Keeping in view of this scenario the
municipality will start a new project
of community latrine especially for
the EWS and slum dwellers, where
sufficient space is not available for
the individual latrine model. In case
of the community latrine project
suitable location will be identified
nearby to slums and other similar
areas which could be accessed easily.
Once the project details along with
fund share are finalized municipality
residents will be informed in due
course of time.
Green City Project ______________________________________
This is a mission project which is entirely funded by the state
government itself with the aim of increasing greening of the city and
as well to restore the water bodies of the city along with their
beautification. This project will also address the issue of “Safe Drive
Save Life” by constructing footpath along selected busy roads thus
segregating pedestrians from vehicular traffic and hence reducing
conflicts and accidents while making for more space for the vehicles
to ply through smoothly and relieve congestion.

Green City Project ____________________________________________
Another interesting component of this project would be to create wifi
zones across the entire municipality in selected zones that will be
identified in due course of time. This would be part of the state
government ambition of encouraging e-governance activities and as
well increase penetration of digital literacy among the residents of the
municipality.
Green City Project ____________________________________________
Kamarhati municipality being located at the northern periphery of
Kolkata is an significant entry points for millions of migrants from
surrounding urban and suburban areas. This gives rise to major
security concerns for the local and state authorities. Hence to
monitor effectively CCTV cameras will be installed at strategic
junctions of major roads passing through the municipality, and also in
other areas with presence of important municipal assets and vital
infrastructures.

Another important project initiated during the last quarter was the
Housing for all mission also known as the Pradhanmantri Aawas Yojana,
with the aim of providing permanent houses to the needy, who cannot
afford a proper roof over their head. During the initial phase a total of
300 houses are to be built for the residents of municipality, selected
strictly according to the criteria which makes them eligible.

This project is ongoing and the first instalment has been released for 261
beneficiaries out of total of 430 which was scheduled for the financial
year of 2015-16. Out of these almost 50% of the beneficiaries has
exhausted their received funds, and demanding the second instalment.
The municipality is ready to disburse the second instalment as per
guidelines after sanction is received from MED.

Water Supply__________________________________
This is one of the main focus of the municipality to upgrade the existing
water supply network of the municipality along with laying of new
pipelines. The aim is to reduce dependence from ground water
extraction to surface water. This is a AMRUT project being funded by the
Government of India and state government. The first instalment of fund
has already been allocated to the municipality and the preparation of
DPR has already started by KMDA. Once the DPR is finalized it will go for
submission to the government of India for approval. After completion of
the required procedure work is expected to start after the Durga Puja.

Efforts are ongoing to implement the new policy of prohibiting plastic
less than 50 micron, hence the --------------“municipality would
