Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) officials face criticism over bureaucratic delays that have stalled a work order for a boundary wall project in Sudama Nagar Sector-D, despite a tender process being completed. Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav expressed his frustration during a surprise inspection of the sector, questioning the prolonged delay and the impact on residents.
The mayor summoned the concerned officials to the scene, demanding answers for the slow progress and warning of potential accountability measures for any negligence. Local corporator Jitu Rathore joined the mayor for the inspection, which also examined construction activities and other civic issues in the area. The mayor directed officials to compile a list of pending files and initiate investigations into cases where delays were unjustified.
Bhargav emphasized that administrative delays are causing inconvenience to residents and damaging the government's image. The mayor also addressed complaints of contractor negligence regarding drainage line work, issuing directives to relevant officials. The investigation into pending files and administrative accountability is expected to provide clarity on why a completed tender can still result in stalled development projects.
