NOWSHERA: Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary today inspected the ongoing construction works of the Sungal Tunnel project at Kalidhar and reviewed the pace and quality of execution on the ground. The Deputy Chief Minister took serious notice of the “poor” quality standards, slow pace of work and alleged violation of prescribed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Expressing dismay over the delay, the Deputy Chief Minister noted that the project has already missed its 2025 completion deadline. He directed the executing agencies and officials concerned to ensure strict adherence to quality norms and safety protocols. He emphasized the need for following all safety measures in letter and spirit to avoid unfortunate incidents like the recent accident in which a labourer lost his life. He called for speedy and quality execution of all the works on the project for completion within the shortest possible time.
The Deputy Chief Minister maintained that until completion of the Tunnel project, alternative roads be maintained for seamless traffic movement for the public convenience. Highlighting the importance of the tunnel project, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the project is crucial for improving the road connectivity, mobility across Rajouri, Poonch, Jammu and overall development of the region besides providing better transportation facilities to the people.
During the visit, the Deputy Chief Minister also assessed the ongoing work on the road from Master Vaid Prakash Academy to Langer, Nowshera besides reviewing other ongoing developmental projects in the area.
