Despite the approval of the grant, road construction from Trilokpur Chowk to Tangri Bridge has not been completed for two years. The department is allegedly avoiding the execution of orders issued during the Chief Minister’s public dialogue rally. The department consistently cites tender-related reasons to hinder road construction work. The road construction from Trilokpur Chowk to Tangri Bridge, which is crucial for connecting Dehradun to Chandigarh, has faced obstacles, with the department failing to complete the tender process to date.
Local residents, including Nikhil Mangal, Sushil Kumar Dhari, Vijay Mohan Verma, Pradeep Chhabra, Mohit Sikka, Hisham Saini, Pawan Saini, Pawan Gujjar, Rohit Thakur, and Ajay Verma, express their concerns over the delayed construction of this vital road. They emphasize that this road is a lifeline for the rural population traveling from Chhota Trilokpur to Raipur Rani, and its completion is crucial for their daily lives.
The residents claim that the government and administration are neglecting this vital project. They demand the government’s prompt action in completing the road construction. Due to the damaged road, customers are diverting to other stores, affecting business owners directly. The administration is urged to expedite the construction for the benefit of the local community.
Local shopkeepers and residents complain about the constant dust and dirt on the road, affecting their daily lives and cleanliness efforts. They emphasize the urgent need for road construction to avoid accidents and improve the overall living conditions in the area.
Despite orders from the Chief Minister during the Barwala Jan Samvad rally to expedite road construction, the department has allegedly not adhered to the directives. The lack of action is attributed to the excessive dust, dirt, and potholes on the road, making the department accountable for road accidents. Local MLA Pradeep Chaudhary expresses disappointment over the department’s failure to implement the Chief Minister’s orders.
The road construction tender has been issued twice, but both times, it has been canceled due to some shortcomings. There is hope that the third tender for road construction will open this week, according to Anil.
