Road works worth Rs 150 cr put on hold

The standing committee of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday put several road works, worth over Rs 150 crore, on hold. The committee members opposed the administration's move of scrapping several road works without consulting the committee.

The BMC administration scrapped more than 100 roads works despite the committee's approval. Members of the committee sought an enquiry against civic officials for scrapping mandatory road works from the priority list of monsoon preparation. 13 were tabled related to road works of which 3 were rejected.
