Digging of roads cause inconvenience

Kashmir Times. Dated: 5/25/2017 12:14:13 AM

Dear Editor,
Almost in every nook and corner of most cities, construction work is being carried out and after completion, the roads are not levelled but left with debris on it. The contractors need to be held responsible for this laxity.
The heaps of debris inconvenience pedestrians as well as motorists. Also, it leads to pollution in the air which is an alarming subject for the health of citizens. It should be mandatory for the authorities, who are assigned this kind of work, to level roads and make them look as good as new.
A deadline should be issued for this purpose so that the work is completed in a span of time. The contract awarded for such work must include such a clause and payment must be made after an inspection by an officer. This officer must issue a written certificate stating that the road work has been completed and the roads are levelled too.
A heavy fine must be levied if this term of clause is not adhered to with a simple imprisonment of one to three months in public interest to the contractor concerned.
