The Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) has terminated three contracts worth over Rs 81 lakh in Ward 27 and debarred the contractor from participating in tenders for the next two years. The action was taken after the contractor allegedly failed to commence any of the allotted projects. The projects included laying water supply and sewer lines near Friends Colony, constructing a sump well at Vinayak Plaza and Jyoti Hospital, and installing a new motor pump set and panel at the Civil Lines boosting station.
Details of the Terminated Contracts
Official records indicate that all three projects were awarded to a single contractor. Despite receiving work orders, the agency did not initiate execution on the ground. Following repeated delays and non-compliance, MCG terminated the contracts through separate orders issued between April and May 2026. The first contract to be scrapped was a Rs 40.6 lakh project for laying water supply and sewer lines in front of a showroom in Friends Colony. Subsequently, a Rs 34.8 lakh contract for installing a new motor pump set and panel at the Civil Lines boosting station was canceled. A third contract worth Rs 6.08 lakh for constructing a sump well at Vinayak Plaza and Jyoti Hospital was also terminated recently.
Broader Context of Contract Terminations
Over the past few months, the corporation has terminated seven other contracts involving agencies engaged for sewer cleaning, storm-water drain desilting, water supply works, and sewer infrastructure projects. MCG Executive Engineer Sandeep Dhundhwal stated, "We have debarred these firms for two years besides terminating their contracts. For the works related to desilting of stormwater drains and sewer lines, we have already floated the tenders and in some cases, the work orders have already been assigned. I have given them the deadline to complete these works by June-end."
Accountability and Future Actions
MCG officials emphasized that the debarment was intended to send a strong message that contractors awarded public works would be held accountable for failure to commence projects within stipulated timelines. This move aims to ensure timely execution of essential infrastructure projects in the city. The corporation is taking strict measures to prevent delays and non-compliance, thereby improving the efficiency of public works.
