Mumbai BJP Corporator Seeks South Mumbai Exclusion From BMC Road Tender; Video Wall Upgrade Contract Proposed
Mumbai's BJP corporator Makarand Narwekar has urged the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to exclude South Mumbai from its Rs 8,614-crore road concretisation tender, citing logistical challenges and past contractor failures. Meanwhile, the BMC plans to award a Rs 5.10-crore contract to Faxonics Technologies for upgrading video walls at its Disaster Management Control Room, despite bids coming in significantly below the estimated cost. Both developments highlight ongoing infrastructure and procurement challenges within the BMC.
