Civic body to put information about works on website

VADODARA: The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) will for the first time go public with information regarding ongoing works in the city. The information will be put up on the website of the civic body.

The VMC has decided to take the step in wake of the fact that there was no other avenue for citizens to gather the information. The civic body's website too was not interactive and saw little participation from the citizens.

VMC commissioner Manish Bhardwaj said that details of ongoing works in all the wards of the city will be put up on the website. "Citizens can access these and get details like when did the work commence, its deadline for completion, costs involved and the kind of work that needs to be done," he said.

Bhardwaj added that the citizens can bring any deviations like delays to the notice of the civic body or their local councillors so that corrective steps can be taken. Officials have been instructed to ensure that the data is uploaded on the website at the earliest.
