chandigarhUpdated: Aug 28, 2020 21:58 ISTAt the top of the agenda of the municipal corporation (MC) General House meet, slated for August 31, will be a slew of recommendations of the revenue generation committee for augmenting its revenue. For recovering around Rs 40 crore in pending water bills, under the one-time scheme, water bill defaults will be regularised at 10% for one-time payment, 7% for two installments and 5% for three installments. For augmenting its revenue, the fund-starved MC is preparing to put its assets such as community centres and Mahila Bhawan in Sector 38, to better use for generating additional revenue. While it plans to employ public-private partnership model for running the gyms at community centres, it also plans to rent out rooms, exhibition halls, gym and canteen at the Mahila Bhawan, Sector 38. Mahila Bhawan in Sector 38-C, even after more than five years of its opening, is yet to be fully utilised.
