Will Govt penalize NBCC for poor GDC Mendhar building?
‘Water seeps through fissures developed in two storey structure’

Jammu, Oct 1: Whenever there is rain, the administration of Government Degree College Mendhar has to face tough time as the rainwater starts seeping through fissures developed in roof of various classrooms, making it impossible to continue class work.
Most surprising or disturbing fact of the story is that it is not an old structure but a newly constructed building, which was handed over to GDC Mendhar only three years back in 2011.
Sources informed Early Times that in year 2011, when National Building Construction Corporation Limited (NBCC) handed over the newly constructed building of GDC Mendhar to Higher Education Department, many roofs of the building were leaking from many places, disturbing the class work and laboratory work during raining seasons.
They further said that during the beginning of September this year when there were incessant rains for few days, which had also caused massive floods, the class work in the college remained disrupted for many days due to excessive leakage in classrooms.
"It is the blunder committed by NBCC authorities but despite sub-standard material used by NBCC, no enquiry has been conducted and the responsible officials are not penalized", sources said.
"Huge funds are swallowed by the NBCC officials and sub-standard material is used in the construction but instead of penalizing the officials, administration is passing the buck, which give a clear indication that some ministers may be involved in the scandal", they alleged.
Source in the department while raising a serious question on working of NBCC told Early Times that when all the beams of newly constructed building have been leaking how government authority had given clean chit to NBCC?.
They further said that in spite of repeated reminders by College authorities to Higher Education department about so many minor fissures, which could be seen in the newly constructed building of College, department has failed to initiate action. The NBCC authorities have given only oral assurances to repair all the leakages but practically only two leaking beams were repaired while the other fissures were left unrepaired. A Social Science department student of GDC Mendhar wishing anonymity said that one side; there was no sufficient staff in the college, which completed the syllabus in time and on the other side, the leakage of beam disturbed the studies badly. When this correspondent contacted Principal GDC Mendhar, S H Shah said that the leakage of college building, created hurdles during every raining day but repeated appraisals to department concerned, about leakage of beams, nothing has been done.
