The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (MC) stalled the ongoing re-carpeting work of a Sector 27/30 road after residents of the area protested.
The residents said the civic body started the work without scraping the existing layer of the road. RK Garg, president of the Second Innings Association and a resident of Sector 27, said the road on which re-carpeting was being done was already well-maintained.
As per the recommendations of the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), New Delhi, before re-carpeting the road, the department concerned should scrap the existing road to a certain extent that the level of the road is not increased.
