He said the civic body is also roping in reputed institutions, including the Central Building Research Institute, Central Road Research Institute, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Quality Council of India, IITs, NITs and RITES, to strengthen quality checks.

The move is aimed at ensuring that projects meet the required quality standards while being completed within the stipulated timelines.

“Besides strictly monitoring timelines for our projects, we will have no compromise on quality and standards,” Dwivedi said.
