ITANAGAR, Apr 8: The public of the Russu Panchayat has appealed to the Rural Works Department (RWD) as well as the executing agency, M/s PD construction to follow the guidelines and DPR for the quality PMGSY road construction from Nimte to Longpak (stage-II).
The public also demanded early completion of the office of Executive Engineer, RWD, Sagalee which has never started till date despite free land and grants sanctioned in the year 2018-19.
Addressing the mediapersons at the press club here today, a youth from the Panchayat area, Taba Luke said that the work under stage-I of the PMGSY from Nimte to Longpak is completed. However, the work executed under the Stage-II is not satisfactory and is devoid of the PMGSY guidelines.
He said the blacktopping of the road is of low quality, to which the department has also objected and instructed to redo the work. Surprisingly, the contractors have failed to follow the instructions of the department due to which the road is in pathetic condition till date.
He said the public of the area is not concerned over who is the contractor but is serious upon poor quality of work. Even the drainage and culverts are built randomly, according to their own idea and not following the DPR.
“The EE along with the contractors and villagers visited the area in the year 2021. The engineer placed his displeasure over the poor quality of work and accordingly instructed for re-carpeting of the road. However there is no positive response from the department as well as the executing agency,” he said, adding that the public is suffering due to the poor quality of road work.
The engineer even assured the public of a good quality road in writing.
Highlighting the delay in the construction of the office of Executive Engineer with an estimated cost of Rs 1 Crore, Luke said that according to the information sought through RTI Rs 65 Lakhs have been so far utilized but there is no physical work seen on the ground.
He said land of 23,400 square meter at Yodir Hapa under Meb village was donated for the construction of an office building. The land was donated without any compensation but till date there is no structure in the area.
“But the information through RTI clearly indicates that Rs 65 Lakhs have already been sanctioned by the government. It also indicates that there is huge corruption and illegality in the construction of the office building,” he said, appealing to the concerned minister of the department to look into the matter and accordingly commence the work for the welfare of the public of the area.
