New Delhi, August 04: With most of the key infrastructure projects related to next year’s Commonwealth Games running behind schedule, a concerned Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today announced cash awards for government engineers who render outstanding services in completing the projects on time.
Dikshit, however, made it clear that there would be no tolerance for sub-standard works as the government wants to ensure highest standard of quality.
“Those engineers would be suitably honoured with cash award and citation who will render outstanding contribution in completing Commonwealth Games related projects,” she said addressing a function organised by the PWD here.
Exhorting the engineers to work with “full involvement” and “commitment”, she said “a little casual approach may bring bad name not only to PWD and the city government but also to our nation, which has accepted a challenge of hosting an international sports event”.
Dikshit also called upon engineers to take special care while undertaking street-scaping, beautification and street-lighting projects. “With hosting of the Commonwealth Games, the city has been gifted with an opportunity to accelerate the pace of development as infrastructure developed for the Games would remain in use for many decades to come,” she said.
