The State government is undertaking maintenance and re-construction work of about 2,000 kms of roads in Chhattisgarh, informed State Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Rajesh Munat here on Monday.
The minister while reviewing the departmental works directed executive engineers to undertake a survey of works completed in their regions and submit a report in this connection by November 25.
Meanwhile, the minister informed that the current year is being observed as ‘quality work year’ and so the officials have been strictly instructed to complete the pending works within the prescribed time-limit while ensuring that quality standards are well maintained.
The minister also warned that in case any dereliction of duty is found then not only the contractor but the officials concerned will also have to face the music.
He issued special directives to complete the construction of roads, bridges and culverts in forested regions of the State.
later on, the minister reviewed the progress of various road asphaltation works and patch work going on in different parts of the State.
