[QUOTE="Vikram singh, post: 122796, member: 1078"] Sometimes religious fervour can transform an untended city into a model of development. In the case of Nanded in the state’s Marathwada region, among the least developed cities in the state, the big push came when the state and the central government decided to spruce it up ahead of Gurta Gaddi, a ceremony to mark the 300th year of the consecration of Guru Granth Sahib as the last guru the Sikhs. The city is home to one of the five most revered Sikh temples, Sachkhand Darbar Shri Hazoor Sahib. So charged has been the pace of development since it began in 2005, that this city of barely 6 lakh people will become entirely slaum-free, the first in the country, by the middle of next year. The massive transformation of the highly congested, dusty and backward Nanded started in 2001when the city’s municipal corporation drew up an ambitious plan to redevelop and modernise the holy city. The then-mayor approached the then-prime minister, chief minister and the planning commission, seeking funds for the city’s crumbling infrastructure. However, nothing much happened.

The state government allotted Rs250 crore for the makeover. Then, in 2007, the central government sanctioned a five-year plan worth Rs2,500 crore.

The new roads conform to international standards, with a four-feet-wide pedestrian path, a four-feet-wide cycle lane, ample parking space, and four lanes for vehicles. A s{censored}y and spacious airport with night-landing facilities was readied in just eight months to meet the Gurta Gaddi celebration deadline. Constructed at a cost of just Rs70 crore, the airport has a 2,300-meter-long runway which can handle all types of big aircraft, including the Boeing and the Airbus. The sewage system was also upgraded and new pipelines were laid, ridding the city of open gutters. The biggest project, however, was to provide comfortable homes to the city’s over 26,000 slum dwellers living on the outskirts of the city. Of the central government contribution under the JNNURM scheme, Rs1,100 crore has already been spent, and 6,000 tenements are ready for occupation.

Baljeet Parmar / DNA, Tuesday, March 2, 2010 Editors note: In the process of modernisation and renovation the surrounding areas around Takht Hazur Sahib have paid a heavy price in several old buildings being demolished.
