New Delhi, January 06: The ambitious Jama Masjid redevelopment project of the MCD is battling a fund crunch and may not be completed before the Commonwealth Games this year, the civic body said indicated.
Municipal Commissioner K S Mehra had recently written to the Lt Governor seeking Rs 20 crore in additional funds for the project while the Delhi government also said it will fund one-third of the total cost.
However, the funds are yet to come, officials said. “We are hopeful that the funds will be made available soon. We will divide the work in phases so that at least some part is completed before the Games,” Mehra said.
