Chander Kiran Tyagi, councillor from ward no 174, Chattarpur, south zone was elected in April 2007 on an independent ticket.

Project I: Construction of lane from Manju Tyagi's house to Khushi Ram Gupta's house in Chattarpur.

Date of commencement: February 19, 2011    

Status: Completed on May 19, 2011

Cost: Rs 4,98,000

Executing agency: MCD

Governance now visited the spot where the work for a concrete lane was done using the councillor’s fund. Since the work for the lane was completed as recently as May, it looked freshly laid. Khushi Ram Gupta from whose house the lane began sounded happy with his councillor's work. “The area has seen some work because of him,” he said. Other residents in the area too seconded Gupta’s opinion on their councillor. However, when questioned on the amount spent on the road, they drew a blank. “How does it matter to us how much has been spent. All that we care is we got the lane we wanted,” said Gupta. 

Project II: Construction of drain from Manju Tyagi's house to Khushi Ram Gupta's house Chattarpur.

Date of commencement: February 19, 2011    

Status: Completed on May 18, 2011

Cost: Rs 3,88,475

Executing agency: MCD

While the board showed the completion of work on which Rs 3,88,475 had been spent the spot depicted a different story. The drain was far from complete, with earth dug out at every five feet of the proposed drain. On enquiry the MCD officials said the work had halted due to the rain and would be resumed soon.
