Imphal, March 20 2009:
The construction of a Guest House inside the Thoubal DC office complex located just opposite to the road leading to Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh has been incompleted even after 4 years of construction.
The construction of the guest house had begun four years back after the task was handed over to a private firm by the Public Works Department at an estimated cost of Rs 64 lakhs (tender value).
However, the guest house is yet to be completed till date although the Mini Secretariat complex, the construction work of which had started just two years back in almost completed.
A team of mediapersons from Imphal today witnessed the pitiable condition in which the guest house is standing today amidst tall grasses.
It is learnt that in connection with construction of the guest house, the Deputy Commissioner had already written a letter to the Chief Engineer of the PWD on October 18, 2007. It is also said that the contractor in charge of the construction work of the guest house had not received even a single rupee from the side of the Government even though 60 percent of the construction work has been completed.
According to sources, apart from this guest house which is under construction, there is no other guest house in whole of Thoubal district.
