Stop blaming Covid, expedite work on pending projects: Dushyant to PWD officials

Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala has instructed the Public Works (Buildings and Roads) Department to speed up completion of several big projects across the state. “Sluggishness in construction works will not be tolerated at any cost and fines will be imposed on agencies for laxity. Stop blaming Corona and expedite work on pending projects,” he said.

Chautala, who also holds the PWD portfolio, gave these directions while reviewing projects worth over Rs 100 crore.

“Any construction agency which is not completing work within the stipulated time period will be penalised. Even officers who have a negligent attitude in dealing with problems related to any project shall be taken to task,” the deputy CM warned.
