RTI Movement has appealed J&K Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to probe the instant case. “For last 6 months one of our senior activists Sirajudin Salam has been urging authorities to take action against the engineers of R&B division Baramulla for looting state exchequer as inferior quality material was used for link road construction (grade I , II and blacktopping) in Shalimar Colony Kanispora, Baramulla. The District Adm assured to take action some months back , but they didn't do anything. Rs 96 lakhs were spent on construction of lanes and by-lanes and soon after the work was done the road got damaged as it developed potholes and cracks. Even the drains have developed cracks at several places “ said Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat Chairman RTI Movement. “The corrupt Engineers and Contractor took advantage of that hartal and curfew last year and used all the sub standard material during execution of work. The road and drains got damaged within 3 to 4 months only.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
