Kushalnagar, Feb. 2: An incident has taken place in Kushalnagar where MLAs who had arrived to inaugurate the road work returned without inaugurating it after noticing the poor quality of the road.
The road work of Ningegowda Layout behind Mariyamma Temple near Baichanahalli in Kushalnagar was completed three days ago on a package basis at a total cost of Rs. 7 lakh.
This is the second phase of the work of the two layouts, and the contractor used completely poor quality materials and ignored the estimate list and paved the road, causing difficulties for the citizens of the layout. MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda, who arrived with party leaders to inaugurate this road, is shocked to see the quality of the work.
I will not inaugurate this road. He expressed his anger at the contractor and returned saying that he will inaugurate only after quality road work is done.
Responding to ‘Shakti’, Municipal Engineer Arbus Ahmed said that the second phase of the road asphalting work in the town’s Vivekananda Layout and Ningegowda Layout was tendered for Rs 7 lakh, and the work will be done again because the work done in Ningegowda Layout was not done to the standard. He said that the road work of about 120 meters long has not been completed yet.
The work is completely poor, and the public has also expressed dissatisfaction over the fact that gravel was filled to the brim on the soil, crushed powder was added and substandard asphalt was brought and poured on it. Ashraf, a resident of the layout, said that the asphalt is so thick that the feet of the residents who walk on the road are not even able to enter their houses. Even after three days of the work, the asphalt laid on the road is being removed.
