BMC Extends Deonar Dumpsite Clearing Tender Deadline Again
The city's government is trying to hire someone to clean up a big garbage dump.
They asked companies to bid on the job, but the companies have questions.
Because of this, the government keeps pushing back the deadline.
They want to make sure they get good offers.
The dump is huge, with a lot of old trash, and the companies are worried about how to clean it all up in the time they have, especially since it rains a lot there.
BMC extended the deadline for the Deonar dumpsite clearing tender for the second time.
The initial deadline was June 3rd, revised to June 23rd, and now July 1st.
21 bidders showed interest but no formal bids were submitted.
Extensions are due to bidder queries, mainly about logistical challenges.
The project involves clearing 271 acres of the 311-acre dumpsite within three years.
