The Pioneer, Dec 9, 2011
Allegations are galore that low quality material is being used in the construction of a PWD road from Bhawanipatna to Kasipur via Gunpur.
In the first phase, Rs 50 lakh was allotted for construction of 10.7 km of the road. But the contractor allegedly managed to withdraw Rs 20 lakh after using low quality metal, sand, and insufficient cement on the road. Also, the road was left half-finished. Now the road has started developing cracks on it.
Sources alleged that in spite of a bad track record of the contractor, the PWD Executive Engineer is ready to handover another three km road work project to him for reasons best known to him.
Locals demand due vigilance on the road works by the district administration. The PWD Executive Engineer did not respond, when asked why he was interested to appoint the same contractor for further projects.
