Poor Work Quality by MCD

Last year MCD replaced nearly 28 years old underground water distribution pipes and ferrules etc in Shivalik Apartments, Alaknanda, Kalkaji in South Delhi as these had started leaking. They also replaced the covers of about 30 pits  in which ferrules for individual flats are fitted . They removed steel covers on these ferrule pits and fitted precast RCC slabs as covers. These are ill designed and of poor  quality. There is inadequate steel reinforcement in these. Of about 30 covers nearly half are already broken. Complaints to MCD are as usual are of no help. Also some of these covers are fitted is such way that these are protuding  6-8 inches above the ground. These has spoilt the smooth level of the area. Car parking are is thus reduced and   uneven area is a potential source of accident to pedestrians
 
The way the job is executed is a shame to the  engineer in- charge or the area. Bad quality material and third rate implementaion creating potential accident prone points.
