After much delay, the re-carpeting cum repairing of capital road has started in several stretches. Though the quality is still questionable, the very sight of PWD starting the repairing work has given lot of happiness to the dwellers of capital complex. The Itanagar-Banderdewa road is in dilapidated condition. Large portion of national highway has been severely damaged during the monsoon rain. The inordinate delay in repairing of road has been extremely frustrating the capital dwellers.
Also it is heartening to see Chief Secretary Ramesh Negi personally inspecting the ongoing repairing work. Accompanied by Highways engineers, Chief Secretary inspected the stretch of the highway from G-extension to Barapani Bridge, Naharlagun on Saturday night. As per the media report Negi stayed back till mid night and monitored the quality of work. Such kind of dedication exhibited by Chief Secretary is really praise worthy. PWD engineers should take inspiration from CS and make sure that quality is not compromised. People of capital complex are closely monitoring the work quality and if it does not meet the set standard, PWD along with contractor will be answerable. It is understood that expert from NERIST are carrying out the quality checking. Hopefully they will be true to their profession and strictly check quality so that capital complex gets a good quality road.
