Nagpur, The effect of West Nagpur MLA Vikas Thackeray’s sudden inspection of Ramdaspeth Pulia on Saturday and reprimanding the municipal officer was visible on Sunday. In the afternoon, a pokeline machine of the contractor was seen demolishing the dilapidated culvert. Two other people including the driver of the pokeline machine were present on the spot. During this a part of the culvert was broken. But the question still remains whether the construction work of the culvert will go on regularly or will it stop after a day or two like before?
Please inform that this is the third time the contractor has started work on the culvert in the last two and a half months. Before this, the ceremony of starting the work has been performed 2 times. However, the way the work on the culvert has started in a dramatic manner, it does not seem that this work will go on regularly as the tussle between the officers is still going on. Municipal Corporation and Electricity Department are face to face in this matter. West Nagpur MLA Vikas Thackeray has called the officers of both the departments for on-the-spot talks on Tuesday, January 31, to remove this blunder. It is expected that during this time the problems coming in the construction work of the culvert will be completely resolved.
differences are hindering
If sources are to be believed, differences between the officers are obstructing the construction of Ramdaspeth bridge. Where Municipal Corporation is happy to accept the tender, then the contractor is satisfied after getting the work, but when it comes to work, instead of solving the problems, they stop the work and sit silently. When common people raise objections, sometimes an attempt is made to avoid responsibility by blaming the cables of telecom companies and sometimes on the electricity department. There is also some correspondence for food supply, but all this is just an attempt to avoid work. It should have happened that everyone together should find a solution to the matter so that the culvert could be constructed on time.
cost may increase
Some officials related to the case say that as the construction work of Ramdaspeth Pulia is getting delayed, the possibility of increasing its cost has also increased. Some are seeing it as a well thought out strategy while some are terming it as negligence of the responsible officers. But in this case swinging between officers and contractors, the common people have to compensate for the loss because this route is very useful for them. The role of local leaders has also been seen indifferent in this matter.
