Chandigarh, 27 Sept
For the first time, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has decided to enhance the defect liability period for contractors to three years for road construction and re-carpeting projects. Until now, the liability period was only one year.
Mayor Harpreet Kaur Babla said the MC is committed to providing high-quality roads to the citizens. With the increase in the defect liability period, she said, contractors will be under greater pressure to use better quality materials during construction, ensuring that roads last longer and do not deteriorate within a few years.
