The BMC on Tuesday scrapped tenders floated for the conversion of 400 km of city roads into cement concrete, citing poor response from bidders. The civic body had first invited the tenders in the first week of August and pushed the deadline twice. However, it received only one or two bidders each for the five separate tenders floated for the work.
After intervention by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had in late July announced a two-phase plan to convert all asphalt roads in the city into cement concrete within two and half years. Accordingly, the civic body on August 2 invited five tenders worth Rs 5,806 crore for the conversion of 400 km of roads.
