Khammam: Transport Minister P Ajay Kumar reviews progress of department works

Khammam: Transport Minister P Ajay Kumar has directed officials to ensure speedy completion of development works under Khammam Municipal Corporation limits.

He reviewed progress of works taken up with Rs 50- crore LRS and Rs 200-crore Chief Minister's Special Assurance funds at a meeting here on Monday. He warned the contractors who were awarded the works ensuring completion as per schedule.

The works that were started will have to be completed by the end of February and the works that would be launched recently have to be finished by March-end. "This is the last opportunity to the contractors. If they fail to complete the works serious action would be taken," he warned.

Ajay Kumar told the contractors that they will have to take up the works under a tender at a time but not in phased manner. The delay in the completion of works would not be tolerated and they will face action.

The Minister directed the Municipal Commissioner Anurag Jayanthi to immediately recall the tenders that were identified for recalling. He asked the corporators and engineering officials to regularly monitor the progress of works at field level in coordination with concerned contractors.

The works related to integrated vegetable and non-vegetarian market taken up with LRS funds and Chief Minister's Special Assurance funds should be completed by March 30 to shift fish market on Wyra road and non-veg markets to the new one.

There was no dearth for funds and steps for supply of sand would be taken. But the contractors will have to focus on speedy execution of works, Minister Ajay Kumar told the contractors.
