The Roads Department of the BMC has decided to start road repair works soon after this year's monsoon concludes. The department has already issued a work order for around 744 roads while tenders will be floated for 420 roads in October 2017. A senior official from the department informed that a work order has already been issued for 744 roads in the city. According to an official, the work for these 744 roads should be completed by May 31, 2018, just in time before the next year's monsoon. This year, road works had come to a standstill due to unavailability of stone chips, one of the main materials required to carry out road works.
