The Story in Brief
Funds have been sanctioned for re-tendered road works under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana in Kollam, with execution at different stages in Anchal and Chadayamangalam blocks. The Hindu reports that MP N.K. Premachandran urged officials to monitor projects closely, speed up construction and maintain quality during a review with the District Collector.
Work on the Asuramangalam-Kombettimala-Thittikkara-Ayathil-Madhurappa-Gurumandiram road had stalled after re-tendering under existing technology proved unfeasible. A revised estimate added Rs 25,84,611.03 and is awaiting State government sanction. In Chadayamangalam, G2 works on several reaches are complete. The Manjappara-Kundayyam Pulimoodu-Akkonom-Keezthoni-Anappara-Mukkada-Palaman road incurred an extra liability of Rs 30 lakh, which the State has sanctioned.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that every delay reflects official neglect are too sweeping, while treating sanctions as completed roads is equally misleading. The reported bottlenecks involve re-tendering, revised technical specifications and additional costs. Residents will judge the programme by usable, durable roads rather than review meetings or paperwork. The next test is whether the two delayed stretches reach execution and whether the completed reaches pass quality checks without further cost increases.
