GCDA, GIDA under fire for shoddy upkeep of roads, bridges, and other infra projects
The Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA), which is heavily staffed, and the Goshree Islands Development Authority (GIDA), both of which are under fire for shoddy upkeep of roads, bridges, and other infra that come under them, have become next to defunct, according to the impression that is gaining ground.
Over the years, it has led to the demand that the government disband them and redeploy personnel to different local bodies which are facing paucity of skilled hands. Many non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have been demanding that the two agencies at least implement announcements made in their annual budgets and decisions taken at meetings.
Both the GCDA, which was formed in 1976, and the GIDA, which was constituted in 1994, have failed to perform their mandated tasks.
