## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0 scheme has been launched on 01 October 2021 in all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/ cities, enabling the cities to become 'self-reliant' and 'water secure'. Providing universal coverage of sewerage & septage management in 500 AMRUT cities is one of the major focus areas of AMRUT  2.0.  Rejuvenation  of  water  bodies,  development  of  green spaces and parks are other components of the Mission. Under AMRUT 2.0,  States/UTs  are  empowered  to  select,  appraise,  prioritise  and implement the projects within the broad framework of Mission guidelines.

The  State  Government  of  Karnataka  has  informed  that  since there is no provision for junction improvements, signal synchronization and  flyover  works  in  the  AMRUT  2.0  guidelines,  no  proposal  in  this regard is sent by the State under AMRUT 2.0.

(b) The details of funds sanctioned and released by the Government of  India  for  the  Bangalore  Metro  Rail  Projects  during  the  last  three years is given in Annexure-I. The details of funds released under Urban Transport Planning and Capacity Building (UTPCB) Scheme of MoHUA during last five years are given in Annexure -II.

(c) No  proposal  seeking  financial  assistance  for  Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) for BBMP periphery zones has been received during last  five  years  in  the  Ministry.  However,  the  State  Government  has informed that Government of Karnataka has approved the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) prepared by Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) which includes strategies for BBMP periphery zones focusing on public transport with a planning horizon upto 2035.
