Tourism and waste management welfare received major boost in the Alappuzha municipality’s Budget for 2024-25.
The ₹3.73 crore surplus Budget, with a revenue of ₹280.68 crore and an expenditure of ₹276.95 crore, was presented by Municipal vice-chairman P.S.M. Hussain on Monday.
The Budget proposes to set up an amenity centre, auditorium, dining hall, coffee shop, tourism information centre, exhibition centre, and gymnasium among other facilities at Alappuzha Town Square with the aid of the State government. The municipality will beautify all major bridges in Alappuzha town. Once the present Alappuzha municipal office is shifted to the newly constructed Centenary building, the old one will be converted into a heritage guest house. A tourism amenity centre will be set up on land in the possession of the civic body at Thookkukulam. The Budget suggests the construction of aspirational toilet facilities in different parts of the town.
