Jammu: A virtual workshop on the “The Contract Management during Emergency situations” was today organized by the World Bank for the Project Management Unit of Jhelum Tawi Flood Recovery Project (JTFRP) which is executing the $ US 250 Million Flood Recovery Project funded by the World Bank in the union territory of the Jammu and Kashmir.
The objective of the virtual workshop was to educate participants about the likely impact of the COVID -19 pandemic on the implementation of the bank funded projects, its possible implications on the contract management and to equip them with various mitigation measures.
Ananya Kumar, a legal expert, briefed the participants about the various provisions in Indian legal system for interpreting contractual provisions including force majeure in emergencies. He dwelt at length on the provisions provided under sections 32 & 56 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, FIDIC Red Book (1999) (2017). He said that the force majeure clause has to be seen in harmony with the contract agreement as a whole. He added that in view of the COVID-19 we need to re-organize ourselves in terms of the changed situation.
Dr. Ajit Patwardhan, contract management expert and former Dean NICMAR, Pune delved at length on the effects of COVID-19 on the construction sector and likely claims to be made by the contractors due to the COVID-19 and the lockdown.

Chief Executive Officer, J&KERA/JTFRP, Dr. Syed Abid Rasheed in his remarks appreciated the World Bank for organizing the event and expressed the hope that the workshop would equip the Project Management Unit, JTFRP to handle the contract management issues of the World Bank funded Jhelum Tawi Flood Recovery project (JTFRP) with a much improved clarity and understanding.
