In the backdrop of the Congress party's assertion that a huge amount had been withdrawn in the name of two PMGSY works without properly executing the works, a few media persons recently visited the work sites in Thanlon Block of Churachandpur district.
The total length of the two roads in question is 17 Kms as per the sanction order, not 26 Kms as claimed by the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) .
The total sanctioned amount is Rs 7.4 crore.
The media persons found that laying of WBM has been completed within a distance of 4 Kms.
A villager identified as Lama, chief of Mualkot conveyed gratitude to MPCC president K Meghachandra for carrying out a meticulous study of the road construction works and highlighting the same to the authorities concerned.
Contractor, M Dama who was also present at the work site claimed that he left no stone unturned to complete the works to the satisfaction of all residents along the road but ill health delayed the works.
He said that he suffered from Covid-19 and got hospitalised at RIMS.
He added that blacktopping of the roads would be completed by January 2023 .
