Churachandpur, January 12 2022:
Soon after the Pherzawl district DC office approach road was blacktopped under the state's PWD, villagers of Pherzawl removed the bitumen layer from the road surface on Tuesday.
According to a local source, the villagers were incensed by the poor quality of the blacktopping work which led them to resort to such act.
The contractor was also given a strong warning by the villagers to follow quality procedures or else nobody would be allowed to execute works in their village.
In this connection, a meeting was held out on Wednesday at the department level involving Pherzawl village chief and village authority members, resulting in reaching an agreement.
Accordingly, the work has started, the source further said.
Meanwhile, the EE/PWD Pherzawl district issued strong instructions to the contractors concerned to complete the work before Republic Day, it added.
