Four civic engineers with the Thane Municipal Corporation have been held responsible for bad roads in the city and suspended by the Thane civic commissioner Dr Vipin Sharma. Sharma ruled that the four allegedly neglected the work of filling potholes and also ignored the shoddy work by the contractor.
The four engineers include Uthalsar ward executive engineer Chetan Patel, junior engineer Prakash Kadtare from Vartak Nagar ward, junior engineer Sandeep Sawant and Sandeep Gaikwad from Lokmanya Sawarkar Nagar ward.
The decision was taken following a survey of city roads by guardian minister Eknath Shinde on Friday. Shinde had given directives to the civic chief to take action against the concerned officials.
