Macadamised road in Telebandha will be stubbed and tarred again
Bans tarring works during rains
Raipur, October 22, 2010
After Central Chronicle published the report that the eight municipal road macadamisation works being carried out in the city at an estimated cost of Rs 3.73 crore were substandard and the roads had started peeling off, the RMC Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary quickly came into action and gave ultimatum to the contractors on Friday to repair all the newly tarred roads that have completely deteriorated. His instruction came after he inspected all the eight roads along with the officials. He has sternly asked the officials to ensure quality should be maintained during tarring works.
During his inspection, he was severely infuriated by the abject condition of tarring done at Gaurav Path in Telebandha that has completely been peeled off. He promptly directed the contractor to stub the complete stretch of the road and macadamise it again.
Considering that the newly macadamised roads get wash away during rains, he has banned tarring works during bad weather conditions and warned of stern action against those officials and contractors who would not follow the instruction.
Choudhary has also directed the officials to ensure that the macadamisation of 20 more roads to be commenced at the cost of Rs 8 crore should also be carried out according to the prescribed norms.
Notably, Central Chronicle in its report – ‘Tarring: Roads 8, cost Rs 3.73 cr, but no guarantee’ published on October 19, 2010 had pointed how corruption prevailed in the RMC and huge funds sanctioned for road macadamisation works were sparsely used for the actual projects and rather shared by the contractors and the officials.

On the agenda of the meeting, he said the party aimed to create a platform for the states it ruled to share and exchange the successful public-oriented policies for better development of the respective regions.

He informed that the Friday’s day-long meeting at Raipur was the third conference under the auspices of BJP’s governance cell and earlier it had conducted similar meeting of chief ministers and ministers and them of education ministers of party-ruled states.
