CM directs officials to conduct regular field inspections during construction; negligence will invite action, and contractors will be blacklisted
Instructions issued to set a clear timeline for the entire process from tender to award
Government buildings to be constructed using modern design and advanced technology
Raipur (thestates.news) | Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has taken a firm stand on ensuring the quality and timely execution of road construction projects in the state. He made it clear that any negligence or substandard work in road construction will not be tolerated. If any irregularities are found in any project, strict action will be taken against the concerned officials, and contractors responsible for poor work will be blacklisted. The Chief Minister issued these directions during a high-level review meeting of the Public Works Department (PWD) held at Mahanadi Bhawan on Friday. Deputy Chief Minister and Public Works Department Minister Shri Arun Sao was also present during the meeting.
Chief Minister Shri Sai instructed officials to conduct regular on-site inspections during construction, rather than inspecting roads only after completion. According to him, roads are not merely technical projects but critical infrastructure that directly affects citizens’ daily lives. He emphasised that roads are closely linked to public convenience and play a key role in shaping the government’s credibility. If a road deteriorates within a few years of construction, it undermines public trust in governance and infrastructure planning.
