Corporations to be reviewed every 3 months

TRICHY: In the wake of several city corporations missing deadlines and many projects lying unattended, senior corporation authorities at Chennai have come up with a proposal to monitor the progress of each corporation every three months.
 
According to senior officials at the Trichy Corporation, during a meeting chaired by Chandrakant B Kamble, commissioner of municipal administration, in Chennai last week, a decision was taken to review the performances of all corporations every three months. The decision was taken after it was found during the recent periodical review that the corporations had not fulfilled all the objectives required by the officials.

Speaking to TOI over phone on Tuesday, Kamble said the corporations were assessed on 330 objectives that went on for more than two months. He further added that people were trained about the assessment and field level officers were designated to complete the tedious process. An objective analysis was carried out and points were given to each corporation. Each corporation commissioner visited different regions and assessed them and a total six lakh data points were collected.
 
The corporations were assessed based on criteria like solid waste, sanitation, electricity, drinking water and several other essential things.
 
It may be recalled that among all the corporations, Trichy Corporation was awarded the best corporation by the state government on Independence Day, for fulfilling most of the objectives.
 
A senior official at the Trichy Corporation said, "Essential things such as drinking water being supplied to the localities and the litres of procurement are all being sent on a regular basis to the officials at Chennai." He further added that regular review meetings were conducted previously and the three-month review is a welcome move.
 
A corporation official in a lighter vein said the drive is similar to how a student is assessed in examinations in schools every three months. He also added that the process is going to be a big headache for the authorities concerned as they have to prepare periodical reports.
