Contractors delaying road work to be blacklisted
The Corporation will begin to blacklist contractors who
fail to complete road works in three months after the work order has
been issued.
At a Corporation Council meeting, Mayor
Saidai Duraisamy said a number of contractors were delaying road works.
“Delays of seven to eight months have been reported across the city.
Contractors will get only three months to complete a road work,
hereafter. We will penalise contractors for delay,” he said. The civic
body has blacklisted a contractor who failed to complete work on
stormwater drains connecting Chetpet lake and Cooum, delaying it by two
years and affecting monsoon preparedness in many parts of the city.
