Panchkula, May 22
Irked over the non-construction of the road from Amartex Chowk in the Industrial Area, Phase I, to railway level crossing the members of the Welfare Association, Sector 19, today blocked the road near railway track for about half-an-hour this morning. The protesters lifted the dharna after a police contingent arrived at the site.
Krishan Kumar Goel, former president of the Welfare Association, while talking to the media said even though the government had approved Rs 87 lakh for the construction of the road in he last week of March, two months have lapsed but nothing has been done in this regard.
He said the Municipal Council had thrice invited tenders for carrying out the job, but the construction work was not being allotted to any of the contractors. Another member of the association, Ravinder Pathak, said even local MLA DK Bansal had informed them recently that the road would be constructed with 15 days, but the project was yet to see the light of the day due to the half-hearted approach of the MC.
Pathak said their sector was given a step-motherly treatment by the MC. The civic body had failed to make arrangement of streetlights, parking facility, construction of community centre, setting up of two public toilets in the market, sewerage facility, drainage, replacement of open wires by coated wires and to remove the unauthorised parking of private vehicles from the market in this sector, he added. Members of the association warned they would block the road again if the MC officials did not allot the road construction work to a contractor within the next 15 days.
