MCG sets new norms for project approvals, contractor payments
Gurgaon: MCG on Friday took a slew of decisions regarding contractor payments and project approvals. MCG officials made it clear that the commissioner would not grant ex-post facto (from a thing done afterward) approvals, saying all necessary approvals must be secured prior to commencing work. The officials established a new protocol for payment delays, directing contractors to first report such cases to their union rather than immediately pursuing legal action. The union would then be responsible for forwarding these cases to the MCG for resolution. Regarding bill payments, the MCG Contractors Union head said that the civic body officials said "there will be no delays" and assurance to that effect was given. "Officials told us not to delay work and said that timely completion and quality of work will prevent payment issues. They also told the contractors to inform the union before any case goes to court and the union will present it to the commissioner for resolution," he said. On Friday, the union met with commissioner Pradeep Dahiya to request a 21-day timeline for processing payment files of completed projects. During the meeting, the MCG officials also discussed the responsibilities of contractors during the monsoon season, stressing the importance of "proper execution to prevent waterlogging issues in the city". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The MCG officials also said junior engineers must document their site visit frequency during project execution.

No tender data on govt portal, MCG engineer handed notice
Gurgaon: The MCG chief engineer served a show-cause notice on the executive engineer for not uploading tender data on the Haryana Engineering Works portal (HEWP) and for not uploading the action taken report (ATR) as instructed. "You were directed to dispose of the pending cases on the HEWP portal and upload the final ATR within five days positively… but a huge number of cases are still pending, which indicates negligence on your part," read the official notice recently served to the engineer. The chief engineer has reiterated the order, saying that any further delay will be "viewed seriously". The executive engineer has now been asked to immediately clear the backlog and submit a completion report to the chief engineer's office. "There are clear directions from the state government that the estimates uploaded on the HEWP should be disposed of to offload the portal," Dhaka told TOI. "The idea is to maintain an accurate record of the number of works executed, deferred, or cancelled. But despite repeated instructions, the executive engineer failed to comply." The HEWP is a centralised platform where all public tenders related to state infrastructure works are uploaded. Officials said the backlog is partly due to the portal's earlier lack of functionality to delete or archive outdated estimates, leading to the unnecessary accumulation of data. Dhaka, who assumed charge as chief engineer on March 29, has introduced a series of accountability measures within the department. He had previously directed engineers to conduct site visits before preparing project estimates.
