Keshav Prasad Maurya today conducted a thorough review of the works of ‘Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana’ (PMGSY) under Uttar Pradesh Rural Road Development Agency (UPRRDA), and gave directions to the officials regarding strengthening of rural infrastructure, quality road construction and timely completion of projects. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana is the lifeline of progress and prosperity of rural India. He gave clear instructions that as per the rules of the contractors, there should not be unnecessary delay at any stage in the payment process, so that the pace of work is not affected and a special campaign should be conducted by the officials regarding the damaged and potholed rural roads due to the rainy season.
He said that such routes should be marked on priority basis and made pothole free, so that the villagers do not face any problem in transportation and their journey remains safe and easy. Taking seriously the inconvenience caused to the general public, farmers, students and patients due to potholed roads, he directed that the condition of the roads should be assessed regularly and necessary repair works should be completed in a time bound manner. It is the priority of the government to ensure better road connectivity and safe movement in rural areas.
Shri Shiv Sahay Awasthi said that the orders of the Deputy Chief Minister will be followed and directed the officials to accurately assess the status of the progressing works under Phase-3 of Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) and complete the remaining works at a rapid pace. He said that the rural roads whose construction work has been completed should be immediately transferred/made available to the Public Works Department (PWD) as per the rules so that their maintenance can be done smoothly. Along with this, he ordered to complete all necessary preparations from now on for effective, transparent and timely implementation of the action plan of PMGSY Phase-4.
