ITANAGAR, Dec 2: Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein today expressed resentment over the lull in four laning construction activities on National Highway 415 and cautioned of action against the executing firm.              
While taking cognizance of no visible construction activities of the ongoing four-laning works of National Highway 415 from Itanagar to Banderdewa in the last few days, Deputy Chief Minister, Chowna Mein today hurriedly convened a meeting of the State Highway Officials and M/s T K Engineering Consortium Pvt. Ltd. in his official residence here.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the progress of work, the Dy CM asked the M/s T K Engineering Consortium to expedite the works. 
‘We have waited enough due to the long rainy season and it is high time that the four-laning works of NH-415 from Banderdewa to Pappu Nallah should be fast-tracked.”
Stating that the state has very limited working period and has already entered into the middle part of the dry season, Mein said ‘there is no time to be wasted.’ He cautioned that if no satisfactory works are visible in the next few days, no option will be left with the Department but to initiate appropriate action against the firm.
Feeling the pulse of the people, he said it is painful to see the road conditions that pass through the middle of the twin capital of the State. 
‘I can feel the pain of the commuters especially of the patients and pregnant women who have to commute through this road in an emergency.’ 
He asked the M/s T K Engineering Consortium Pvt. Ltd. to complete the four-laning of road from Itanagar to Pappu-Nallah (Phase-I) by March 2019 as assured by them earlier.
Chief Engineer (Highway), Er T Basar, Executive Engineer (Highway), Nani Tath and representatives of M/s T K Engineering Consortium Pvt Ltd. attended the meeting.
