Expressed displeasure over the absence of Chief Engineer
Minister Sarang called the Chief Engineer of the Public Works Department (Bridge Construction) and expressed his displeasure over his absence despite being informed about the inspection and said that how often have you inspected the bridge under construction. Due to lack of inspection, substandard quality construction work is being done. When the Chief Engineer did not provide information, Sarang instructed the department to take disciplinary action. He also talked to the Principal Secretary Public Works regarding this. It may be noted that due to lack of supervision by higher officials, earlier too a column had not been constructed as per the prescribed standards, which was demolished and rebuilt on the instructions of Minister Sarang.
Aishbagh ROB will be ready by the end of June
Minister Sarang said that maximum number of fly-overs have been constructed in Narela Assembly for the convenience of citizens. To make the travel of passengers of Aishbagh and surrounding areas easier, the construction work of Aishbagh ROB is in progress. A calendar has been prepared regarding the construction, so that the work can be done with coordination between the Railways and the Public Works Department (bridge construction). Aishbagh ROB will be ready by the end of June.
He told that due to closure of Aishbagh railway crossing, citizens have to take a detour of about one and a half kilometres. After construction, the heavy traffic load towards old Bhopal and new city will reduce. More than 1.5 lakh residents living in nearby colonies will also directly benefit from this ROB.
