The general meeting of the general body was also told that the Civic body only spent 20% of the funds allocated to repair the road in the past half a year, which is one of the main reasons behind the increase in the number of craters on the streets.
On Demand for Corporators Virendra Kukreja and Abha Pande, the Superintending Engineer NMC Ajay Pohekar told the house that RS4.68 Crore from the allocated Crore RS18 was spent repairing the road in the last financial year.

The Mayor of Dayashankar Tiwari directed the administration to repair the hole as soon as possible.
“I know fixing a hole in the rain is impossible.
But we have two machines to fix a hole in the rain.
Therefore, the administration must repair the hole using these machines.
The process of re-coating the entire road will take time so it must be completed before the end December, “he said.
Passing through the administration stricture, Tiwari said officials must plan and repair the road before the start of the monsoon.
“Tenders must be done and assessing contracts with private institutions must be completed before the start of the financial year.
Then, works can be carried out by private institutions whenever needed throughout the year.
It will not delay work due to tenders and other processes in bad situations, which apply now, “He said.
Tiwari also ordered an investigation into the quantum and the quality of the work done through the JetPatcher machine on complaints of several canporators.
At the Corporator’s request to improve responsibility for officials for poor road conditions, Tiwari said, “Officials took salaries from public money responsible for the works.
