Samples taken to check road material quality

Fatehgarh Sahib, March 2

A team of the Mohali Vigilance Bureau investigated newly constructed roads with interlock tiles in the Sirhind-Fatehgarh Sahib Municipal Council.

The team collected the samples of interlock tiles and checked the material. The investigation was initiated after the complaint of Darshan Modi, a resident of Sirhind.

He had alleged that a sewerage pipeline was laid from the BDPO office, Sirhind, to the Nagar Council office. A reinforced cement concrete road was to be constructed on it, but sewerage board officials allegedly constructed the road of interlock tiles. Not only this, the material used in the road was of very poor quality, he said.

The technical team said tiles at several places were inspected and the samples would be sent to a lab for examination and action would be initiated only after getting the report. — OC
