Penalties were filed by the City Corporation for late work by contractors, but not 1 percent bonus was given for work completed in advance. A lawsuit was filed against this and it was settled. The Government will be recommended to increase the limit on the value of a contractor's work. Our government will be urged to make a profit of 10 percent for contractors on the Schedule of Rate," he added.

KCP Chandraprakash also added that the contractors were given career development training and guidance. "Coimbatore Corporation conducted a free eye and dental camp for students and yoga training was also done for members of the Association. Problems related to GST, PF and ESI were resolved.
