Minister wife contractor, work stalled

Even though the contract period for paving work has expired, the road cannot be built, so the common people have to travel dangerously on dust and gravel. The drain to be constructed on the side of the road is sloped and 'slab' has not been placed on top of it .

"It is a problem for children, the elderly, and those with weak eyesight," said Pannalal Yadav of Simraungarh Municipality-8, "In some places where culverts are being constructed, the old culverts have been demolished and left standing. As the work was not completed, we had to face a lot of difficulty in walking in the rain.'

A technician from the infrastructure office assigned to the 'side' of the plan said that the work was being delayed due to lack of sufficient manpower and resources. He said, "How can a single construction company work on all 'sides' at the same time after taking 6/6 contracts?" He said that the work could not be done quickly due to the necessity of working everywhere with one or two tools. "Working on one side leaves the other side, that's why this situation exists," said the technician.

In June 2079, a first-phase agreement was reached to build 5 kilometers of tarred roads in each constituency to be completed within 15 December 2080 . Engineer Rajesh Chaudhary, information officer of the infrastructure office, said that the process of extending the deadline for the second time started after the work was not completed in this period.

'After the work has not been completed, the process of extending the deadline has been started,' he said, 'in one and a half years, the work progress of all roads has been 62 to 75 percent on average.' Work in progress .

Apart from the road project from Jitpur-Nagaul, Narhi Chowk-Anarwa Chowk, the contract for 6 other roads was won by Ranjan Nirman Seva, Birganj 13, named after Ashadevi Kalwar, wife of Sinshan Shah Kalwar of Birganj, Minister of Energy of the Madhes State Government and member of JSP's Provincial Working Committee.

He transferred the company to his wife's name after he became a state MP. The work of its 6 roads will be completed within May. Most of the work has been done," said Minister Sinhasan, "even though the company is in the name of my wife, I have entrusted the construction to my brother." The contract amount for each road is from 6.5 million to 8.5 million.

After all these eight roads are paved for the district, the 'connection' of each municipality will be connected . But Ram Vilash Sah Sonar of Karaiyamai 8 Ithar said that due to the lack of budget of the state government, the construction could not pick up due to the slowness of the builders. "The road has been abandoned, there is a great fear of accidents on the Narhi-Arnawa Chowk road," he said, "The old culvert has been uprooted by dozers and left everywhere." There is always a fear that the bike will slip after leaving the ballast.'
