He said that the staff crunch is one of the key issues as several of them were deputed to supervise the SRDP. The corp. itself has partly developed a few junctions since there were no takers for the project. He said that it would not finalise tenders as of now and citizens will have to bear the inconvenience till January 2019 from when work will begin.

GHMC officials claimed that the corporation had not acquired a single property or land since two years.
