Mohali civic body to give roundabouts to private builders for maintenance

Mohali, January 2

The Mohali Municipal Corporation has decided to give roundabouts and triangles on slip roads in the city to private builders for maintenance and beautification.

The MC has framed guidelines for allotting roundabouts and triangles on roads for proper maintenance and beautification. The contract will be awarded for two years. If the builders concerned fail to maintain these, the contract will be cancelled.

The companies that take over the triangles and roundabouts in new sectors will not have to deposit bank guarantees as these are yet to be developed by GMADA or the MC. However, in other areas, the companies will have to deposit bank guarantees.

Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi said earlier the companies used to take these for maintenance to advertise their company. He said now guidelines had been framed and roundabouts and triangles would be given for maintenance after getting bank guarantees from builders. — TNS
