The engineering department of the Chandigarh municipal corporation will not purchase any material for road and public health related works from outside the city. Materials like paver blocks, tiles, curb channels, manhole covers, road gullies covers, tree guard panels etc. will be prepared by city-based Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste Plant, which is run by the MC. All the materials will be supplied to the MC by the plant. The materials, which are used in huge quantity, were earlier purchased from private companies. However, this move will save the MC of crores of rupees. The move has been taken following the meeting of the municipal commissioner, K K Yadav, with all the senior engineering officials of the MC a few days back. Since the collection of the C&D waste is the key aspect in this entire exercise, the commissioner directed the Building and Road (B&R) and Public Health wings of the MC’s engineering department to collect the C&D waste in a proper manner and monitor the whole exercise.
