While taking a detailed review of progress of macadamization work, it was divulged as against the total availability of Rs 106 crore only approx Rs 66 crore has been spent, thus achieving 60% target. Sources told Early Times that it was revealed that implementation of macadamization work has been confined to only the urban areas of the districts discarding the rural and far flung areas where the condition of the roads deserves equal treatment thus spreading the impact of development in uniform manner. "For the macadamization purpose, Rs 106 crore were approved by the government and same were given to department for carrying out work across the division, but department worked at snail’s pace and giving focus on the roads of cities and Commissioner Secretary questioned the senior engineers of department that despite the availability of funds why Rs 40 crore is still unspent when this financial year is at the verge of closure," they said. If sources are to be believed, the Commissioner Secretary PWD has given the ultimatum of two weeks to the engineers to show the progress in macadamiztion work and warned if department failed to do so, strong action will be taken against the officers and asked for to produce the detail of work in next meeting which has been scheduled after one month.
