Oppn alleges unholy nexus between top politicians, proxy contractors This proposal had created a huge uproar when tabled earlier during the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) general body (GB) meeting. Corporators had alleged an unholy nexus between politicians and proxy contractors for grabbing the tender. Undeterred by the setback though, PCMC commissioner Rajesh Patil has cast aside all impediments and tabled the proposal yet again. Now that your curiosity is piqued we will tell you what the proposal is about. It blatantly allows mechanised sweeping of roads wider than 18 metre in the twin towns at an approximate cost of Rs 464 crore for 928 km, over a period of seven years. If you now do the calculations, which you must, this means it will cost a whopping Rs 1 crore to sweep a stretch of 2 km.
