The Greater Noida authority on Thursday said that it has decided to blacklist 14 contractors, who have abandoned construction work being carried out for residential units in the city. These contractors were involved in construction of a government housing project located in sector Xu-III of Greater Noida.
According to officials, the move follows an inspection visit carried out by Deepak Agarwal, CEO, GNIDA on Thursday along with his team of officials. The authority is constructing more than 1300 low income group (LIG) and middle income group (MIG) flats in the area. The authority had started work on the LIG and MIG flat project in June 2015 with a deadline for completion in March 2018. The project faced delays of 3 to 4 years due to farmer agitations and land rows. "As a result of the land problems, several contractors abandoned the project. We are trying to trace them now and get the work re-started. If contractors do not toe the line, strict action is on the cards for them," said a senior GNIDA official.
Officials further said that if the 14 contractors fail to respond to them and do not return to complete the project, they will be black listed. Heavy penalty will also be imposed as per norms. "The aim is to complete the remaining work on the project and hand over possession of the residential units without any further delay," the official said. These are 20 storied towers in which the under-construction flats are located. Seven floors are ready up till now. The CEO has directed contractors to complete remaining 13 floors before March, 2018 so that possession can be offered on time.
Meanwhile, Agarwal also conducted inspections at the site of other government housing projects located in sector Omicron-I.
