nMinister for Public Works Tamradhwaj Sahu on Wednesday announced in the state assembly suspension of six engineers engaged in expressway construction.
A demand in this regard was raised by Janta Congress Chhattisgarh- Jogi (JCC-J) legislator Dharamjeet Singh. Singh alleged that these six engineers didn’t have experience of road construction though they were engaged with the project, which resulted into substandard construction of the expressway.
The minister admitted that the said six engineers did not have proper experience of handling the road projects and hence they were being suspended with immediate effect holding them accountable for the substandard construction.
The minister also informed the House that the repairing work of the alleged substandard construction would be done by the contractor, who was assigned the job by the previous BJP government.
