Showcause notices will be issued to road contractors as well as civic engineers for the potholes and bad stretches remaining on city roads following the meeting chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had with senior officials of various government agencies on Saturday.

Chavan also told newspersons after the meeting, "The material used for road work will also have to be tested compulsorily in laboratories before use. The contractor will have to preserve the samples which would be later tested in IIT." Officials were also asked to analyze bids that were way below the fixed tender price and to put information regarding road contracts online.

TOI had reported on Thursday that Chavan had called the meeting because of the terrible condition of roads that led to an outcry from all quarters. At the meeting, Chavan demanded the BMC take stern action against contractors and civic officials responsible for the mess, especially those maintaining new roads still under the Defect Liability Period (DLP).

After the meeting, additional municipal commissioner Aseem Gupta said, "Showcause notices will be issued to contractors and civic engineers for roads where potholes have not been repaired. Blacklisting is also an option."

Chavan also instructed officials to create a special cadre of officials for roads and drains work.
