Amid complaints and ongoing investigations into discrepancies in various civic projects, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) on Sunday disallowed outsourced junior engineers from accessing measurement books, based on which payments are made to contractors.
A measurement book contains the records of the construction materials used, type of work, the daily or weekly expenditure for road projects, sewerage, stormwater, streetlights and parks, among other such civic amenities. Details are filled regularly and updated in the book, which is MCG’s primary source of project details.
MCG officials said that the digital IDs of all 29 outsourced junior engineers (JEs) have been deleted and they no longer have access to the measurement book.
