The municipal administration department has been requested by the officers from GCC to sanction the entire amount at one go so that tenders would be called for all the damaged roads in the city in January and complete them before the summer season.
The civic body has been relaying about 4500 interior roads and 250 bus routes in the Chennai city roads. Point to be noted is that 34640 interior roads and 471 bus route roads stretch over 5657kms.
