Months after transferring the funds from Roads, SWD and Bridges departments for COVID-19 preparedness, the BMC has decided to divert about Rs 600 crore of the emergency infrastructure funds to them.

The three departments are on the verge of exhausting their allotted funds for various development work. The Roads and Storm Water departments have used up more than 96 per cent of their funds. They have decided to take up several projects that were on hold until last year owing to the pandemic.
