Cong to NHAI: Start fourlane project, flyovers in 48 hours

Submits memorandum to NHAI Chief Engineer

Raipur, November 18, 2010

The Congress on Thursday demanded from the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to start construction works of fourlane road and flyovers at Pachpedi Naka chowk, Raipura chowk and Santoshi Nagar chowk within 48 hours. The NHAI has stopped these projects six month back.
In this regard, the DCC president Inderchand Dhariwal and others submitted a memorandum to the NHAI Chief Engineer and demanded to black list the Delhi-based implementing agency DS Constructions and replace it with some other construction company if it would not commence the projects in the next 48 hours. The DS Constructions company has stopped the works on pretext of no release of payment from the NHAI, said the Congress leaders.
The Congress further demanded from the Authority to complete the projects itself if no construction agency would take the responsibility and ensure to accomplish the task within one month or the party would gherao the NHAI office.
The Congress members warned the NHAI that if their demands would not be met then they would be compelled to block the road traffic of Ring Road No 1.
In the memorandum, the Congress pointed out that ever since the constructions of fourlane road and flyovers had stopped, about 10-12 motorists lost their lives and several got injured in the frequent road mishaps.
“It is unfortunate that the NHAI is not taking the projects seriously. The condition of the Ring Road No 1 is pathetic. The construction materials are lying everywhere due to which the motorists are facing inconvenience, especially during night hours. The affected areas are heavy traffic zones like Pachpedi Naka chowk, Santoshi Nagar chowk and Raipur chowk where traffic bottlenecks have become order of the day,” said the Congress leaders.
The DS Constructions company has got contract of fourlane project from Tatibandh to Arang via Ring Road No 1 besides construction of flyovers by the NHAI. However, this company has always been in controversy in the past.
A couple of months back, the company had tried to construct toll plaza deliberately selecting the spot close the city to recover heavy toll.  However, when the Congress raised its objection over the construction of the toll plaza terming it illegal and rushed to the spot, the civic administration came into action and immediately stopped the work and seized the construction materials from the spot.
The toll plaza at Ring Road No 1 was being constructed near Deendayal
Upadhyay Nagar where three bypass roads are proposed and the existing
road remains busy round the clock.
This is the same company that has earlier completed the fourlane project from Raipur to Bhilai and was in controversy for constructing toll plazas at Kumhari and near Nehru Nagar Bhilai.

The party will also ensure that no controversy trigger this time after the names of the candidates would be finalised. For this, consensus would be evolved first at local level on names of at least two candidates from each area and then the final list would be announced by the PCC.
To shortlist the candidates, the PCC president has asked the district presidents of those civic bodies where elections and by-elections would be conducted to constitute election committees.
The role of these election committees would be to first filter the names of the aspiring candidates and prepare a list of at least ten prospects.
These lists would then be sent to the PCC with recommendations for at least two most suitable candidates.
In the hustings, the party will prominently raise the issue of Rs 270 bonus on paddy procurement and corruption prevailed in the government machinery, said the senior party leaders.
