The BMC administration is up to its old tricks again. Despite bad experiences with third-party auditors for quality maintenance supervision, the civic body has yet again decided to appoint them, this time to assess road resurfacing projects. Why? Ostensibly because BMC engineers are busy preparing tenders and attending meetings. Seven project management agencies have been finalised to audit road resurfacing work and trench repairs. According to a proposal, a copy of which is with mid-day, the BMC will spend Rs 3.22 crore of public money on this exercise.
These auditors are also looking into ongoing road repair and trench repair works. The BMC has started road resurfacing work worth Rs 161.48 crore, and an order in connection with this was issued three months ago.
