Pune civic body to seek third-party audit of 640 roads

Amid complaints from residents about the appalling state of roads, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has initiated the process for a third-party audit of the construction quality of 640 roads identified under the Defect Liability Period (DLP).

The DLP is the clause in the contract where a contractor can be held responsible for the deterioration of the roads during a specific period, normally three years. The roads identified by the PMC are mostly located in nine wards, including Aundh-Baner, Shivajinagar-Ghole road, Kothrud-Bavdhan, Warje-Karvenagar, Hadapsar-Mundhwa, Wanowrie-Ramtekadi, Kondhwa-Yeolewadi, Kasba-Vishraumbaug and Bibwewadi.

The ward offices have already begun issuing notices to contractors for faulty or pothole-ridden roads.

“Some ward offices have given us the list of roads under their jurisdiction. We are now going ahead with a third-party audit inspection to check construction quality of roads. Once such work has been identified, the contractor will be fined for it. The inspection process will start soon,” said VG Kulkarni, head of the Road Department, at the PMC.
