We are working on development of bypass and ring road for smooth vehicular movement,” said BJP city president Harish Kotwale. “None of these promises has been fulfilled, and people have not forgotten them,” he said.“The Khandwa water supply augmentation project, meant to augment daily water supply, has failed to take shape even after almost a decade after its sanction in 2007,” they alleged.They also raised questions over shifting of inter-city bus operations to the outskirts..
