Chandigarh— Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini said that the state government has decided that if any expansion in the scope of work of an ongoing project becomes necessary during its implementation, it will be executed through a separate tender. The move is aimed at effectively addressing issues related to cost enhancement and budget escalation.
The Chief Minister was responding to a query during the Question Hour of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha on Thursday during the ongoing Budget Session.
Saini said that at present, it is often observed that once a project is underway, its scope is expanded midway. Repeated expansions during implementation create several complications, leading to increase in project costs and enhancement-related challenges.
To address these issues, the government has decided that if a project has already been tendered and any additional work or expansion is required later, it will be carried out through a fresh and separate tender process. He added that necessary directions have already been issued to officers concerned of all departments in this regard.
