A random check of works in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s Central Zone by Mayor Mohammed Majid Hussain on Wednesday revealed that 33 works were pending since 2011-12, 128 works from 2012-13 and 1,000 from 2013-14.

Expressing anguish over the progress of works, Mr. Majid Hussain directed the superintending engineer to monitor with the agencies which acquired 10 to 20 works in their names, to prepare a detailed status of work for each agency and immediately cancel the ones that did not take up the works.

‘Why has it not been implemented?’

No agency should have more than five works and a policy decision to this effect has already been taken in the Standing Committee and approved by the General Body, the Mayor said while questioning engineering officials on why this policy was not implemented so far, according to a press release.
