We are likely to hire the agency by end of November to start the work at the ground,” said Deep Chandar, additional chief executive officer, Greater Noida authority.

The authority had awarded 10 works related with horticulture department with a budget of ₹24 crore last month.

The authority’s chief executive officer has also directed the staff to make sure that all contractors, who work for these projects, must display their names, mobile numbers and other details on a board to be put at the park, green belt or other site, where the particular work has been done.

“This is to be done to give an opportunity to residents to know who has done the maintenance of green belt, park or other green areas. If not satisfied with the maintenance work, then they can complain and get the issue resolved,” said Chandar.
