Dumka (Jharkhand), Jul 22 (PTI) Jharkhand BJP president and leader of the opposition Babulal Marandi on Tuesday urged the state government to immediately repair roads, culverts and bridges damaged due to heavy rainfall in the state.
He alleged that roads and culverts in many places suffered damage due to the poor quality of materials.
“The life of common people has been badly affected due to damage to communication bridges and roads in many villages of the state. There have been reports from many districts where children were unable to go to schools, patients unable to reach hospitals, and even rural markets cut off,” Marandi said while addressing media persons at the Dumka circuit house.
Accusing the state government of negligence, he said, “The quality of the bridges at many places was so poor that those could not withstand even the slightest rainfall and collapsed. It exposes the corruption prevalent in the government’s construction works.” Marandi said the responsibilities of engineers and contractors should be fixed.
“I urge the government for immediate repair of damaged roads, culverts and communication bridges in the state,” he added. PTI CORR SAN SBN SBN
