It has been about 40 days a road connecting Bhairahawa with Parasi was constructed for Rs. 400 mil. and it has started failing. The 29 km road was constructed under the load of Asian Development Bank (ADB). ADB does its own quality control for which a representative was there. But, the local leaders didn’t show him the damaged part and only showed the good part of the road.
The contractors have passed the road and have received the payme
nt. Now, they are saying it is not their problem.
Well, that was out of Kathmandu. But, there is a road in the heart of Kathmandu that got damaged within a month. And nobody in the authority is concerned.
Kguff.com says that ‘it can only happen in Nepal’. Everybody should be asking:
- Are the approving officers incompetent ?
- Do constructors / engineers have ethics in Nepal ?
- Will the culprit be punished?
