With 90 days to go before the onset of the monsoon, the BMC administration has sought a larger role from the newly elected representatives in its ongoing Rs 17,000 crore road concreting work. In an administrative review meeting conducted by Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani on Wednesday, following the elections of Mumbai’s mayor and her deputy, the administration has been directed to keep elected representatives informed of the status of all ongoing road work and to take routine feedback back from them. 

“The feedback received from citizens can be easily communicated to the administration through elected representatives, adding an extra layer of quality checks,” an official said. The BMC has also said all work on all excavated roads will be completed before the monsoon season, to avoid exposing unfinished sections to the rain. According to the civic body, the incidence of potholes due to rain on concrete roads is minimal, resulting in significant savings in maintenance and upkeep costs.
