The financial year of the Municipal Corporation ends on March 31. Work orders for work or purchase are issued by about 25 March every year. So that the concerned contractors get time to submit the bills to the Municipal Corporation before the end of the financial year. But this year is the year of Lok Sabha elections. Anytime elections are announced, there is a possibility that things will get stuck in the code of conduct. Against this backdrop, Municipal Commissioner Vikram Kumar had ordered all departments to issue work orders for all works from 20 to 25 February three weeks ago.
Now the commissioner has extended this deadline by 10 days. The commissioner has warned that the department will be held responsible if the works are not completed within this period.
