an independent Performance Review Committee by evaluating their inspection reports of
works at regular intervals.
(b): Out of 16717 completed works inspected by NQMs upto August, 2007, 1886 have
been found unsatisfactory and out of 26713 on going works, 7223 were found
unsatisfactory.

of deficiencies found in works. If defects are rectified and the works are found
satisfactory after re-inspection, then it is regraded as satisfactory. The State Governments
have also been requested to take necessary action against the concerned contractor and
the officers, if defects found are of non-rectifiable nature. In that case, State Governments
have to arrange for necessary repair of works.
