Surat to Engage Multiple Consultants for Drainage Projects

The Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) is changing how it handles drainage projects.

Instead of having just one company in charge, they're going to hire multiple consultants.

This is because the city has grown, and they need help to get things done faster and cheaper.

The new consultants will work on different parts of the drainage system, like sewage and stormwater.

SMC hopes this change will speed things up and lead to better projects, as well as more competition.

This is a change from how things were done before.

Projects include developing sewage networks and pumping stations.

Some previous projects were criticized for cost escalations without proper approval.
