In the state, only two months will be given to dig the road for works like electricity, water, sewer line, telecommunication cable etc. The Public Works Department is making a policy for the first time for digging the roads, the draft of which has been prepared.
There is no such policy in the state yet, while in many states including UP, the time limit is fixed for this. Therefore, now the Public Works Department is also bringing such a policy in Uttarakhand, under which only two months of time will be fixed in a year for digging the road. Except for special circumstances, all other departments will be allowed to dig the road only in this time period.
After the policy comes, an SOP for digging the road will be prepared. Under this, there will also be a time limit for digging the road and completing the work. Action will also be taken against the departments that cut and damage the road against the rules. Secretary Public Works Department Dr. Pankaj Pandey said that the draft of this policy has been prepared. Soon it will be brought to the cabinet. All construction related departments will come under the purview of the policy.
Will also be connected to the central government’s app
After the new policy comes, the Public Works Department will also use an app of the central government for information related to the digging of roads in the state. The department will keep getting all the information through this app. The department will be able to take action on it accordingly
