Mangaluru: Mangaluru City ranked 20th in the Ease of Living Index (EOLI) and 42nd in the Municipal Performance Index (MPI) in the Urban Development Ministry’s 2020 assessment, said MCC mayor Premananda Shetty.

He was speaking to media persons after the minister of Housing Affairs, Hardeep S Puri, released the results of EOLI and MPI through the virtual conference on Thursday.

The mayor said, “In the success of Smart City projects, public engagement is crucial. There are 34 ongoing projects in the region, with a few of them in the proposal and DPR stages. The old port will be developed as part of the Smart City project in order to boost the economy,” he said.

Bengaluru emerged as the top city on the government’s Ease of Living Index 2020. Pune ranked second and Ahmedabad secured the third rank among 111 cities.

Prashanth Kumar Mishra, in-charge MD of SMCL, said that an affidavit has been submitted to the court, stating that the Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) given by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) will be followed during the construction works. “The construction and demolition debris box will be used to collect the waste. The land for the C&D debris processing has already been identified. Hopefully, the court will lift the stay within a week,” he added.

Deputy mayor Sumangala Rao and corporator Sudhir Shetty Kannur were present.
