The municipality has given itself full marks for unfinished works

The city municipal corporation has presented itself the biggest stakeholder by awarding themselves 90 marks out of 100 marks Performa based on 15 questions. It seems that they awarded themselves full marks on each point of the Performa except one. But as it is evident from the state of the city’s roads and public areas that the real picture is complete opposite. Every project of the city municipal corporation was delayed well beyond deadlines. 

The municipal corporation board has been subsiding backwards due to city growth tax, pending house tax, lease and other taxes which have never been completed fully. The online customer system is such that no complaints registered are ever taken care of or completed in time. At present there are more than 2200 complaints pending about various subjects of defective road lights, encroachment, jammed sewers, wild animals and broken roads etc.

Previous Justice VS Dave( have been a member of the empowered committee of the supreme court)  says “I wouldn’t even give 3 out of 10 to the municipal corporation. The reason being that the corporation is only interested in giving makeovers to the main roads, whereas the inner areas have bad roads. Endless people are without sanitation. There are no proper toilets to be seen in the old city markets. In terms of growth nothing is happening for real and everything is just seen on papers.

As per H.S Mathur, Retired Chief Town Planner, “Sawach India plan is going on but the municipal corporation is lagging behind still. Wild animals are seen everywhere on the roads and they litter all over the roads. Municipal Corporation has been awarding itself 100 marks, but seeing their actual work only 60% marks can be given
