India, May 27 -- The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has issued a formal notice to a Hisar-based contractor for delaying special repair works on 13 key roads in the city, despite repeated verbal reminders. The authority has also warned of invoking liquidated damages as per the contract clause if the contractor fails to accelerate the pace of work.

The special repair Rs.25-crore project was awarded in December 2023 and is slated for completion by mid-August this year. However, GMDA officials say progress has been unsatisfactory across all project sites. "The work on these roads will be expedited and action will be initiated if the pace of work is not accelerated," a senior GMDA official said, requesting anonymity.
