Mayor bats for posting road recarpeting record online

Looking to maintain transparency and ensure quality in recarpeting of roads, Municipal Corporation Mayor Anup Gupta has sought digitisation of road records in the city.

He has asked officials to ensure digitisation of all manual data of road works. Recarpeting figures with dates, name of agency carrying out the work and inspection details will be made available on the “I’m Chandigarh” app or website of the civic body.

It is often seen even councillors do not have any idea when a road was last recarpeted in their respective area, he says.
