Mayor Kundan Gogia ordered that the firms whose contractors have delayed in starting the work within the stipulated time or have not completed the work on the spot, should be debarred with immediate effect and the action of confiscating their deposit i.e. EMD should be taken. He clarified that negligence in public works will not be tolerated at any cost and only firms that work honestly and on time will be given priority in the corporation.
Taking this administrative action forward, the Mayor has directed the Superintending Engineer (Civil) to submit a complete list of all work orders issued from April 2022 till now, names of the firms concerned, date of issue, work deadline, reasons for delay and current status of those projects to the Mayor’s office as soon as possible. Based on this report, the next major legal and administrative action will be taken against the defaulting contractors.
