“Under the Amrut 2.0 fund is allocated for missing sewer lines and resolution of old sewer lines. While the Rajasthan government pays 45% of the project cost, the state government and the concerned urban local body bares the rest 25% and 30% respectively. The municipal corporation has appointed the company on September 16, 2022 to prepare the DPR and it is almost ready,” said a senior official of JMC.
