1. Subsequent to the final opportunity granted by the Board to the Contractor for improving the progress of works, the Contractor has initiated mobilization of resources including manpower and finances at site.
2. With the above, there is increased deployment of resources at site with average manpower deployment of about 80 – 100 and 50 – 70 at Meerut and Bhubaneswar Projects respectively. The Contractor has also paid off his liabilities to various vendors and placed orders for additional material which has now started arriving at site.
3. Based on the current trend we expect the sites to be fully mobilized by end July 2015. A visit by Director General, AFNHB to both the projects is planned during the month of July 2015 along with the Managing Director’s of the Contractor’s firm to take a stock of ongoing works.
4. The Board will continue to closely monitor the progress in both the projects and undertake all possible measures to ensure expeditious completion of the balance activities.
5. Next update will be promulgated in August 15.

1. In the past few months, the progress on the site has suffered due to inadequate resources and man power deployed by contractor. The contractor has been citing financial crunch.
2. Consequently, the Board had issued the Show Cause notice to the contractor on date 19 May 14 and warned to cancel the contract and carry out the work by third agency at his risk and cost.
3. Thereafter the civil contractor approached the Board seeking mobilization advance against Bank Guarantees in order to infuse funds in the project and achieve the desired progress. The contractor has pledged his assets (Movable & Immovable) and is in the process of obtaining the BGs. The Board on its part is facilitating this and we expect the work to pick up and progress thereafter satisfactorily. The work also suffered due to non availability of fresh stock of cement at Bhubaneswar. The cement available was old stock (more than 90 days) and the cement was returned to the supplier. New stock of cement has been received on 26 Sep and work will recommence within a day or two to the cement delivery at site.
4. Alternatively all the necessary paper work for cancellation of contract & progressing thru “Risk & Cost rate is also ready & should the contractor fail to produce the BG’s in the committed time schedule, the Board would not hesitate in issuing cancellation notice & undertaking the work at “Risk & Cost”. However, this route is time consuming & with uncertainties on funding & is thus avoided unless inescapable.
5. The board would like to reassure that its allottees that all possible steps are being taken for speedy completion of project. We sincerely apologise on the unreasonable delay’s in the project on which the Board has not control. We would like to reassure the commitment to complete the project as envisaged at any cost. Inconvenience caused to allottees is deeply regretted.

In the past few weeks, the progress on the site has suffered due to inadequate resources and inadequate man power deployed by contractor. The contractor has been citing financial crisis. Consequently the Board has issued the Show Cause notice to the contractor and warned to cancel the contract and carry out the work by third agency at his risk and cost. However, recently the civil contractor has approached the Board seeking mobilization advance against Bank Guarantees in order to infuse funds in the project and achieve the desired progress. The Board has facilitated this and we expect the work to pick up and progress satisfactorily. Please be assured that the board will not spare any efforts at closely monitoring the work and ensuring that work progress at brisk pace to make up for lost time.
