ULB orders MCG: Pay promptly, fine poor work

The Urban Local Bodies (ULB) department has ordered the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) to ensure timely payments to contractors to prevent project abandonment. This directive aims to keep development projects on schedule. The ULB also instructed the MCG to penalize contractors for substandard work instead of delaying payments. Residents have complained about contractors halting projects, impacting city development and maintenance. This follows resident complaints and contractor concerns about payment delays and operational challenges. The MCG is also facing accusations of selective enforcement of penalties based on unofficial payments.
