Imphal, June 13 2009:
Works Minister K Ranjit Singh today inspected the progress of the construction work going on for a mini secretariat at Chandel District Headquarters.
During the inspection, the Works Minister was accompanied by Education Minister L Jayantakumar, Deputy Commissioner of Chandel District, Chief Engineer of Works Department and other officials.
On noticing that not much progress has been made in the construction work of the mini-secretariat which began in 2006, the Works Minister grilled the contractor.
When the contractor contended that the progress of the work has been slow as the work order was received not long ago, the Minister asked the contractor from where he got the work order and the contractor replied that he got it from Camp Hebron .
Later on, the Works Minister and his entourage went to inspect the construction of the road connecting Chandel with Sugnu.
Unhappy over the sloppy execution of the work, the Minister instructed the engineers concerned for reconstruction of the road all over again and not to release any more fund until proper execution of the work.
