SK Jain appointed as contractor for water jetties project in MP

BS reported that government of Madhya Pradesh has appointed Bhopal based SK Jain as contractor for the construction of water jetties in Madhya Pradesh.

In all 13 jetties are being developed for the development of intra water transportation at Bansagar reservoir and sites have been identified for the purpose. Of the 13 jetties, work on 9 jetties is underway and the remaining 4 are likely to commence work by April 2008.

It may be noted that Madhya Pradesh government had in April 2007, invited bids from the contractors for the construction of these jetties, but the proposed tender was cancelled due to high tender cost. Again bids were re invited in July 2007 by the state government, for which SK Jain emerged as the successful bidder.

Work on all the 13 jetties is expected to be completed by June 2008.
