Inquiry sought into interlocking tile work

Ludhiana, August 18

Alleging substandard work of fixing interlocking tiles in various areas, Council of RTI Activists leader Rohit Sabharwal, in a complaint to the Principal Secretary, Department of Local Government, has demanded a vigilance probe into the matter.

In his complaint, Sabharwal alleged that the interlocking tile work, being carried out in the Model Gram area, BRS Nagar, Sarabha Nagar, Harnam Nagar, Baba Deep Singh Gurdwara to Suman Hospital Road in the jurisdiction of the Ludhiana MC, is substandard.

He alleged that the measurement books are not being filled on daily basis by the civic body officials concerned. “I have checked the sites and found that the stones are not being used in the required quantity at many locations. Thus, the material is being used in less quantity. Hand rammer is also not being used in a proper manner to press the material used below the tiles. In the absence of proper compaction and substandard work, the interlocking tiles will sink,” he said. —TNS
