World Bank may help transport plans

NAGPUR: With the local administration mulling over

ambitious transport projects, the World Bank too is examining possibilities of aiding them, either via funding or providing

intellectual assistance.
 
A team of officials from the World Bank paid a two-day visit to the city beginning

Sunday and met a host of officials including Nagpur Municipal Corporation Commissioner Sanjay Sethi, officials of Maharashtra

Airport Development Company (MADC), Nagpur Improvement Trust and other agencies.
 
Though in a preliminary stage,

the fact that this international financial institution has shown interest on its own rather than wait for a proposal from the

local authorities is heartening. NMC commissioner Sanjay Sethi confirmed that the WB team paid a visit to the city. He added

that the bank showed interest in partnering this project.
