Chandigarh May Extend Sweeping Contract for Lion's Company
The company that cleans the streets in southern Chandigarh with machines might get to keep doing it longer.
The company's current agreement ends soon, and the city needs to figure out what to do next.
The local government is discussing extending the current contract with Lion Services Ltd because they started the process to find a new company late.
A previous extension of three months was already given, and now another one might be approved to keep the streets clean while they decide on a new plan.
This contract costs about 5.10 crore rupees each month.
The Lion’s company provides GIS-based mechanised sweeping in the southern sectors of Chandigarh.
The existing extension is set to expire on September 30.
The municipal corporation floated tenders late.
An agenda item regarding an extension will be discussed in the General House meeting.
The monthly cost for the sweeping service is Rs 5.10 crore.
