R&B deptt exceeds work limit, deviates from DPR 12/19/2015 11:48:17 PM Arun Singh Early Times Report Jammu, Dec 19: The ill planning of Public Works (R&B) Department is apparently clear from the fact that it got executed excess work of roads under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, which was not in the Detailed Projects Reports for which the projects were approved and subsequently the funds were released. Sources told Early Times that there are number of such cases in which extra road lengths beyond sanctioned scope were executed by the Public Works (R&B) Department under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). "Violating the set norms incorporated in the scheme, the executing agency, PW(R&B) Department while construction of stage-I of 10 road projects with road length of 33.60 Km completed, when the stage II of these road projects was taken up for execution with road length of 48.36 Km indicating excess execution of road lengths by 14.76 Km and involving excess sanctioned cost of Rs 8.98 crore on these road projects," they added. Interestingly, Public Works (R&B) Department ruled out it violation and termed that taking up of excess road length of Stage-II of road was only some minor modifications in alignment required to connect the incidental/ scattered habitations and that the components of Stage-I works for these additional length were incorporated in the DPR of Stage-II of these road projects, they said. Shockingly, the claim of PWD to connect the scattered habitations fall fat with the physical progress reports of Stage-I of the road works indicated completion of road projects through road connectivity to proposed habitations, they said further adding that the concurrence of the District Panchayat, the State Technical Agency and the State Level Standing Committee required for any modifications in approved alignment which was not adhered by the executing agency.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
