In the wake of several city corporations missing deadlines and many

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.

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

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.
