Monsoon
is not far away. According to meteorological scientists it
might come earlier. Heavy rain during monsoon washes away
a lot of road. Moreover, the low quality roads cannot stand
even light rains. Condition of roads is not that good in the
State. Several roads start becoming worn out soon after their
construction. Though all the roads are not of low quality
work. It is about those roads which are of low quality. Several
roads which connect different cities are not good which were
constructed before some days. Pot holes could be seen in these
roads at various places. Even the concrete-cement roads have
started cracking up. PWD Minister, last days said that the
engineers of the department should ensure that roads should
do not get damaged in the rainy season. In the meeting of
Chief Engineers and Superintending Engineers of the State,
the PWD Minister said that action would be taken against the
contractors who do not maintain roads properly. It is commendable
attitude of the minister but it is also necessary to pay special
attention over the maintenance of roads. Though state government
has paid attention on the roads and constructed new roads
but due to use of low quality materials (pitch, concrete and
cement) or improper quantity of materials, the result is damaged
roads. Roads are directly related to development. The state,
for all round development, requires roads of good quality.
It means the roads play an important role in making the infrastructure
strong. Industrial investment gets affected in lack of better
roads. Government and administration would have to pay attention
over this mantra.
