Top coat of newly carpeted roads at SBS Nagar peels off
- | Thursday | 5th December, 2019
However, the joy of residents was short-lived as top surface of some newly carpeted roads in E-block of the colony and some other areas started peeling off in just about a fortnight. Not only this, there had been instances when the road carpeting work was carried out at night when temperature dropped and the weather conditions were not conducive for surfacing and laying asphalt, said residents. The lapse on the part of the contractor was conveyed to officials of the LIT, but they did not intervene to stop road carpeting work late in the night, residents added. When contacted, the LIT superintending engineer, SS Jakhar, said, “If there is any deficiency in the work of carpeting roads, the contractor will be directed to rectify it. His final payment will be made only after the quality of workmanship and material used in road carpeting is found strictly as per specifications laid down in the work order.”
