BMC dwells over trench menace

Mayor Vishakha Raut, concurring on the issue said the administration should take cognizance of them as the public were put to great inconvenience.

Additional commissioner V Ramani explained that whenever tenders were taken out for road works, the administration received very low quotations in response. These were instantly rejected.

"However certaincontractors went to court and acquired an order to undertake works from the municipal corporation. Even after this, they are not in a position to commence work," rued Ramani stating the BMC will blacklist such contractors in future.

Further, Ramani said that each ward will try to departmentally complete the unfinished works or even get contractor’s from neighbouring wards to do the task.
