Tikender Panwar, former deputy mayor of the Shimla MC, has written to Solan SP Gaurav Singh to initiate an inquiry against National Authority of India on the basis of the complaint he had filed in 2023.
In 2023, Panwar had alleged that the NHAI and GR Infra Projects had not built the four-lane from Parwanoo to Solan properly, and the faulty construction had caused a massive loss to natural ecosystem, human lives and assets. Panwar had alleged that the hills were cut vertically instead of in slopes. In his fresh letter, Panwar wrote that his complaint should have at least triggered some pro-active and scientific construction work. “But, the first monsoon rain has shown that the NHAI is competent enough to construct such highways,” he wrote. He said his complaint should be treated as an FIR and probe may be conducted against them.
