SETTING a deadline for winding up road cuts by government agencies such as CMWSSB, Tangedco and telecom companies, the city corporation officials have warned the agencies that all permissions issued will be revoked if any work is found to be under way in September.
Wind up all road works before Sept: Corpn

The decision comes after many residents complained to the new corporation commissioner, J Kumaragurubaran, about the distress caused by dug-up roads.

The civic body has also informed the police department of their decision and has asked them not to issue traffic diversion permission from September onwards.

A meeting chaired by Deputy Commissioner (Works) V Sivakrishnamurthy every Tuesday, will review the status of ongoing road works.
