Tendering process must be transparent, no one should be able to point fingers: Uddhav Thackeray to BMC

Days after being questioned by Opposition BJP about the tendering process for road repair works, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday directed BMC to carry out the process in a transparent manner to ensure that no one can allege irregularities.

In a virtual meeting with BMC officials, Thackeray discussed various issues — roads, illegal constructions, footpaths and dumping of debris among others.

“The tendering process for road repair works should be carried out in a systematic and transparent manner. It should be ensured that nobody can point fingers,” he said.

In the last few days, BJP and MNS leaders had raised questions on the quality of road repair works after BMC invited tenders worth over Rs 2,000 crore for the same.
