Proper monitoring is the need of hour

One of the biggest issues concerning people of Arunachal whenever any infrastructure project is launched is quality of work. Majority of project fails due to poor quality. Interestingly this is happening despite the presence of so many monitoring bodies. The nexus between contractors and corrupt government officials is the root cause of poor quality work. Therefore it’s important that senior government officials intervene and take control of the situation.
Yesterday Tirap deputy commissioner Ravi Jha expressed his dissatisfaction over the inferior quality of work on the PDS go-down at Khonsa under the urban department. Deputy Commissioner asked the executing agencies not to compromise with the quality of work at any cost. This was a rare instance when a deputy commissioner pointed out the mistake in public forum. DC Jha deserves appreciation for being bold enough. Other government officials should take inspiration from him and start calling spade a spade. For a state like Arunachal which is totally dependent on central government even for single penny, there is need to ensure that funds are properly used. Misuse of fund over the years has severely affected the developmental process of the state. Execution of poor quality work leads to misuse of fund.
