BMC cancels aquarium at Byculla zoo, Link Road tunnel and other projects

The BMC cancelled a road concretisation tender worth Rs 58 billion on November 1. This is not the only tender to get cancelled, with the civic body also cancelling the construction of an aquarium at Byculla zoo, improvement at the Deonar Abatoire, tunnel construction for the Goregaon Mulund Link Road, laundry to wash clothes from hospitals and setting up of virtual classrooms in civic-run schools.

On this, ex-BJP Corporator and standing committee member Vinod Mishra said that the quality of work should be maintained by the administration. There is still a nexus between contractors and BMC officers for the construction and repair of roads. It is true cancellation of tenders will slow down the pace of civic work but if it is done for betterment and to stop corruption then it should be done. However, new tenders should be invited immediately so delays can be avoided.
