Maharashtra Minister Ashish Shelar directed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to improve its dashboard for road concretisation projects on Wednesday, September 24. He said the system must be more transparent and useful for citizens.
Shelar ordered that trenches dug along roads must be restored within 15 days. He warned that contractors who damage utilities will face penalties. He added that citizens should be able to file complaints about local roads directly on the dashboard. The system must also display details of damaged utilities such as power lines, water pipes, and sewage lines, and contractors must be held responsible.
Shelar instructed that all grievances registered on the dashboard should be addressed and reports must be shared with citizens. He directed that water, electricity, and sewer projects must be mapped before road work is approved to make sure of proper coordination.
