A Comptroller and Auditor General report tabled in the state legislature last month shames the city for its misgovernment, which spells misery for its 1.5 crore population.

The report points out how BMC allotted road works worth Rs 702 crore without the mandatory tender process. The breach snuffed out competition, indicating firm bias in favour of a few contractors, while public works and other projects suffer under the rank negligence of the authorities.
