Chandigarh, April 19

The 24X7 water supply pilot project for Mani Majra today cleared the final hurdle of the Board of Directors (BoD) of Chandigarh Smart City Limited (CSCL). The final nod came from the BoD at a meeting today. CSCL General Manager NP Sharma confirmed that a letter of intent would be issued to SB Engineering and Tapi Prestressed Pvt Ltd tomorrow.

It would have to submit a bank guarantee within a week. The CSCL had earlier cleared a bid of over Rs162 crore under the joint venture of these firms.

The work is expected to start by May 15. It will have a two-year deadline. The firms will have to take care of the maintenance for 15 years after completing the project. Later, the project will be implemented in the entire city. — TNS
