Work Orders for Rural Development Projects Mandated by Centre
The rural development department has announced that the Centre has directed the issuance of work orders for approved projects under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana for phases 2 and 4 by September 30. The resolution emphasizes the importance of completing the tender process for various development initiatives managed by the Maharashtra Rural Road Development Corporation in a timely manner. It also notes that the matter of a short notice period for short-term e-tendering is being considered for administrative and public interest reasons.
Therefore, there is no need to immediately issue an online tender in any way…
There is a plan to manage all tender processes by telling well-wishers to participate,” said Milind Bhosale, president of Maharashtra State Contractors Federation and State Engineers Association. Contractors’ associations questioned the move. “The decision is clearly suspicious and has been made with a specific intention. There is no election in the state now. So, the model code of conduct will not be applicable.
