Ludhiana January 23 The Municipal Corporation has given directions to reconstruct a stretch of Circular Road from where samples had failed the quality tests. Earlier samples that were collected from Circular Road near Daresi Ground had failed the quality tests last year. Notably the strength of the RMC samples which were collected from the road in February last year was found to be less than the required level. The MC team had found average thickness of around 4 inches against the designed thickness (6 inches) when samples were collected from this road. An official of MC said after the negative results the contractor was asked to reconstruct the portion of the road but the work was unsatisfactory. He further said “We have directed the contractor to reconstruct the road portion after removing the old layer. Once the stretch is reconstructed we will take road samples for testing once again” he said. A Congress leader Parminder Mehta said the MC should ensure construction of roads in a right manner. “If the road samples fail the quality tests the contractor concerned should be blacklisted. MC should bring transparency in its working” he said. — TNS
