What’s inside:
The Rural Works Department has set a deadline for construction work under specific schemes, with strict consequences for delays.
The Rural Works Department has announced that construction work under the Mukhyamantri Gram Relations Scheme and Mukhyamantri Gramin Setu Yojana must begin by 15 September. This is part of a broader initiative to strengthen rural roads and manage their maintenance effectively.
If the construction work does not start by the deadline, the department has warned that strict action will be taken against the contractors involved. This includes confiscation of their bail money and blacklisting their registration under the Bihar Contractual Registration Rules, 2007.
For local communities, this means that road construction will either progress or be delayed significantly if the contractors do not comply. The Rural Affairs Department has previously warned these contractors through newspaper advertisements, making it clear that they need to start work immediately.
Moreover, the department has instructed contractors to install necessary boards and set up site laboratories at construction locations. They also need to ensure that all construction materials are available at the sites by the 15 September deadline.
Moving forward, the Rural Works Department expects all contractors to adhere to these guidelines. This effort aims to ensure that the rural road infrastructure is improved promptly, benefiting the communities relying on these roads for better connectivity.
Summary:
- Construction under two major schemes must start by 15 September.
- Contractors face penalties for failing to begin work on time.
- Community benefit depends on timely completion of road projects.
- Contractors are required to set up sites and provide materials by the deadline.
- The initiative aims for improved rural road infrastructure.
