Chennai: At least 660 city road contracts, finished quickly before the assembly, has now been canceled by Greater Chennai Corporation because most of the roads are in good condition.
The Civic body will save around RS 43 Crore by this cancellation.
Around 3,200 city roads, small and large, given to contractors in February 2021, beat the model of the model behavior, which kicked on March 1, 2011.
Quickly to call and give a contract before the April 2021 election, the GCC engineers at the zonal level have added a few Roads are in good condition to work.
Recently, corporate commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi has requested all executive engineers and deputy regional commissioners to check the road to find if it must be placed again.
After a two-week inspection, RDC throughout the south, north and the center send a list of 660 roads, by saying they are in good condition and don’t have to be put.
Although most of them are interior roads that measure no more than 300-500 million, several road route roads.
At the meeting scheduled at Ripon Building on Saturday, this problem will be discussed and a detailed road list, along with the reason why they do not need a relay, will be submitted before the corporate commissioner.
In its part, the Civic Agency also recently issued a notification to two project management consultants responsible for the quality control of most of the roads, called on them to explain why the actions should not be done against them because they failed to issue a notification.
For the wrong contractor who is guilty placed a poor quality road or the road placed above which is of good quality.
For example, the village of Salai in Mogappair who came in the Bukatur and Anna Nagar Fifth Avenue in Anna Nagar was removed from the list.
In accordance with the official, the road is in good condition and only requires a patchwork.
Most of the roads were tendered before the polls fell on the Valasavakkam zone, Perungudi and Sholinganlatur, and all had been found in good condition, said an official.
Some of these roads have been identified to put the waste line or telecommunication line.
These streets are patched when these agents pay Civic’s body for road restoration.
“There is one layer of bitumen that is still left on this road, and they will last for another year.
So, we decided to divert the money to a very bad road that requires direct and complete relay,” said a senior official.
On several roads in the zone like Perungudi, only 50 of the 200 million required relays.
