Chennai Corporation Introduces Strict Penalties And Rework Mandates For Defective Road Patchwork

The Greater Chennai Corporation has introduced strict penalties and rework mandates for defective road patchwork to ensure better quality ahead of the upcoming Northeast monsoon. Under a newly issued official circular from the Works Department, contractors caught laying uneven patches will face financial penalties and must redo the faulty work. Repeated violations will invite formal warnings, while a third instance of non-compliance will lead to the <b>immediate termination of the contract</b>. Previously, the civic body only issued advisories for substandard repairs without any specific punitive measures in place.
