New practice to avoid frequent ditch digging in Chennai

S Venkateshwari
The chennai Corporation has decided to upload the road cutting works carried out by various departments in the chennai Corporation on the website so that the public can know about them.

Various works are going on in chennai on behalf of various service departments including road, rainwater drainage, flyover, bridge, electric cable burying, water pipe burying, metro rail tunnel work. In these works, due to lack of coordination between all departments, it is not possible to complete the works within the specified time. Especially for road, rainwater drainage, metro rail works etc., due to lack of permission from traffic police, permission and cooperation of other departments, they cannot be completed quickly.

Once a road is repaired by the chennai Corporation, another department starts digging the same road in the next few months. Due to this, the road has been in a ditch and mound for several months. Due to this, the public - motorists are greatly affected.

In order to solve this, a multi-disciplinary coordination committee has been established to carry out development work in coordination with the relevant service department officers of the chennai Corporation. In this case, the Corporation has decided to upload all the road works online.

In this regard, the Corporation officials said, "To complete the development and planning works in chennai as soon as possible, if there are any defects, a committee has been formed to coordinate 12 government departments to complete the work. Following this, the information about the road cutting and development works carried out in chennai will be uploaded on the website.

For this purpose, a special link has been started on the website of the corporation, in which area and what works are being carried out. A facility is being established so that the public can know which department is doing the work, who is the contractor, the time required to complete the work, the risks caused by the work, and the benefits that will result from the completion of the work. In this, the contractor who does not complete the work within the specified period will be penalized. These will be operational within a week or two," they said.
