Project sans MCC orders in Dongerkeri ward!


By CT reporter
MANGALORE : A project is learnt to have been undertaken in the Dongerkeri ward of the MCC limits without the prior approval of the city corporation.
It has been noticed that side drains on the road side near flower market in front of Bhagavathi Temple and some other shops in the area have been closed using cement slabs.
However, what has been learnt is that these works had been undertaken with due initiative of the local corporation but without securing the MCC approval for the budget estimate of this project.
It has even been gathered that the work presently done seems to be only for namesake and already the RCC slabs are on the verge of collapse. It has also been noticed that the old stones found in the area itself had been used and made to look new like using cement layer.
As per the existing rules, such works of covering side drains with cement slabs has to done with due approval of the council meeting and only after an order to that effect was issued. But MCC records prove that no such order has been issued with regard to this work.
The locals are now requesting the MCC to look into this project that has been undertaken without inviting even tenders.
