CPWD has more than 3000 original works. The sanctioned strength of engineers is sufficient for handling these works. However, there are a number of vacancies in different grades which has put additional burden on the existing manpower. About 1225 major works, costing more than Rs. 1 crore each and 1350 works costing above Rs. 10 lakh each, have been assigned to CPWD engineers. Apart from this, a number of projects having smaller value are also being handled by CPWD.
No project is held up for lack of manpower. However, some projects get delayed due to a variety of reasons including intervention by Courts, adverse law and order situations etc. Lack of adequate coordination among different disciplines of CPWD and with the client Departments is one of the factors which affects execution of the projects.
Government monitors these projects by regular reviews at various levels so as to ensure timely completions.
This information was given by Minister for Urban Development and Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in his written reply to a question of Shri Anirudh Prasad alias Sadhu Yadav and others in the Lok Sabha, today.
