Imphal, April 10 2023:
Sloppy nature of PMGSY work implemented in between Takou and Kadi Part-2 has infuriated Water Resources Minister Awangbow Newmai.
A video clip uploaded on Awangbow Newmai's Facebook page said that the particular road construction work was qualitatively very poor.
He wrote, "Shame on you, contractors" and "Contractors, don't think of only getting money/bills, please maintain good quality" .
Even though the Takou-Kadi Part 2 road was black-topped recently under PMGSY, the WR Minister was seen peeling off the bitumen layer without any effort in the video clip.
He then asked whether black-topping is done in such manner.
Notably, Awangbow Newmai's particular video clip tagged the Governor, Chief Minister N Biren, Power Minister Thongam Biswajit, Works Minister Govindas Konthoujam, RD&PR Minister Yumnam Khemchand and Commerce & Industry Minister Nemcha Kipgen.
Meanwhile, RD&PR Minister Y Khemchand held a review meeting of the PMGSY works being implemented in Tamenglong district.
The review meeting held at Old Secretariat was attended by top ranking officials of the Rural Engineering Department.
The meeting reviewed the progress achieved so far by different construction works including PMGSY roads in Tamenglong district.
The meeting also discussed about initiating necessary actions against agencies which executed sub-quality works in Tamenglong.
