UDHAMPUR, Dec 12: Senior Congress leader, Sumeet Magotra has expressed serious concern over poor performance on Devika Project at Udhampur and alleged that even after three years, the contractor has failed to complete it.
Addressing a press conference here today, Magotra flayed local BJP leaders and said that during press conference one of the BJP leaders in the district had claimed that if the work will not be completed in one month’s time, the contractor will be blacklisted. But unfortunately even after several months nothing such happened and the project is moving on snails pace. It is incomplete even after three years.
Congress leader disclosed that recently Member Parliament and Union Minister Dr Jitender Singh had taken a meeting of concerned authorities of Devika Project of Udhampur in which he had warned the contractor of this project to complete work shortly. Even the District president BJP in a press conference had also mentioned about black listing of contractor. But all are silent due to reason best known to them.
Showing his concerned Sumeet Magotra expressed that from last three years Devika Project is becoming nuisance because contractor has initiated this project in Udhampur town in unplanned manner. He said all the lanes, drains and roads were dug at a time resulting collapse of the drainage system in the town. Political parties, social organizations and common man have staged demonstrations many times but BJP leaders keep silent all the time.
Magotra alleged that technical experts are not satisfied with the work and progress of this project, forecasting its failure. He also alleged that corruption is also involved in this project at higher level. He demanded CBI inquiry to expose the black sheep.
