MUMBAI: A leaked internal file noting of BMC shows the civic body admitting to compromised execution of Mumbai’s road works. Recently, BMC tenders for new road works in the city had contractors bid 26-30% below the actual cost of around Rs 1,200 crore.
BMC is likely to scrap all the tenders and call short ones, which will now delay works that would otherwise have begun next month. A senior official said they would not mind delaying the works by a month instead of having to take up bad quality works that will be a permanent liability.
