Chandigarh, September 6

The Municipal Corporation website provides stale information regarding the status of projects and the Budget.

The MC has not updated the status of any civil, horticulture, road or electricity projects for the past three years on its website. It was last updated on November 20, 2017.

Also, the Budget has not been uploaded for the year 2019-20, even as the financial year is already over. The corporation has also failed to upload the balance sheets of financial years after the fiscal 2016-17.

“We demand an inquiry into this lapse. All ongoing projects should be updated on the website and complete details should be provided so as to ensure transparency. Even at the project sites, the details of expenditure, the dates of the start and deadline of the project should be mentioned,” said city AAP president Prem Garg.

“People have a right to know at what stage a project is. There should be transparency. Such information should be updated on the website immediately,” said Gagan Kumar, a city resident.
