The best example of lack of coordination among the different Government is easily seen in the different corners of the capital city.
The recently repaired and constructed roads have been repeatedly excavated by nodal agencies in the name of carrying out development works across the capital city. An example of such anomalies can be seen on Balbeer road where a stretch of the road was dug by the department concerned for laying the potable water pipelines. The excavated roads have been causing huge inconvenience to the commuters.
The plight of the commuters has increased several times as few metre stretch of roads was recently dug by the department concerned for laying the potable water pipelines on Balbeer road. Although the width of excavated roads is not much wide but mud on both sides of excavated roads has reduced the width of roads thus causing huge inconvenience to the commuters.
Besides, the long bumper to bumper traffic jams could be easily seen at the school timings at the crossing of road. The situation is equally worst on Haridwar roads, Kalidas road, EC road, Indira Nagar and other parts of capital city.
Additionally, residents lamented that the recently constructed roads were repaired hastily and could give up before its stipulated time. It is not wrong to quote that lack of coordination among different Government departments is the major cause of concern as newly constructed and repaired roads is normally dig up other Government agencies in the name of completing other beneficiary projects.
The recently dug roads by Peyjal Nigam for laying the potable water pipelines is causing huge inconvenience to the commuters, besides EC road was also dug by the private firm in order to have potable water connection. Apart from the two-wheelers, four wheeler riders too facing difficulty due to the muddy condition on the city roads.
Even though political leaders and bureaucrats keep instructing nodal agencies to meet with deadlines, the agency has failed to complete the job. One of the department sources who wished anonymity told The Pioneer that the nodal agencies seek permission before digging roads for completing any beneficiary projects. He said that stern instructions have regularly passed to construction wing of the department for repairing the dug roads.
He claimed that the funds are approved to nodal agencies on the submission of the closure reports to the department for repairing dug roads in the coming days. He also ruled out that inferior quality materials were used while repairing the dug roads in any parts of the capital city.
