GURGAON: The MCG chief engineer has asked the contractors’ union to ensure quality work or stop working for the civic body. Vishal Bansal also asked them to meet deadlines.
He said the corporation receives complaints about the quality and delay of development projects.
At a meeting chaired by Bansal, the contractors complained that samples were collected for quality checks after the entire project had been executed. The chief engineer assured them that samples would now be taken while the work was being executed so that the deficiencies could be addressed on time.
The contractors also raised the issue of contract cancellation over trivial objections and alleged that the officers gave contracts to their acquaintances.
On this, the contractors were told that the civic body should be informed about such cases so that action can be taken against the erring officials after a probe.
“I have told them explicitly that the quality of work should not be compromised and the deadlines should be adhered to. If they fail to deliver on these two aspects, MCG will take action against the contractors. I have told them to upload their bills on the Haryana Engineering Works Portal (HEWP). After scrutiny, we will ensure that the payments are released,” Bansal told TOI.
