Concerns have been raised over poor workmanship at government residential quarters in Goa. The government should impose penalty on contractors and accountability on engineers concerned for executing unsatisfactory and inferior work. The authorities must assess the actual level of satisfaction of the residents of the government quarters with regard to the quality of repairs/ renovation and services being referred to by the maintenance agencies. In most of cases it's linked to contractors inefficiency and lethargy for inferior quality of works done. Later they claim invariable bills for bad jobs done. It seems that there is no audit for such bills even if there is no proper work orders and non-following of estimation report with irregularities by some contractors. Some of the contractors don't know the basic ethics of work and through political clout get orders. Most of the repair work is done poorly by the contractor, with cracks and falling of chunks of ceiling within short span. Most of the government quarters are in horrible conditions. Moreover there is no accountability nor transparency. Taxpayers money cannot be squandered in such a reckless manner without proper planning and non-application of mind.
