Even posh colonies face RMC apathy!PNS | Ranchi
After the district administration, Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) has revised its list of works, in the view of President’s visit to the State Capital.
Much busy with the preparations for the President’s visit, RMC has sidelined its topmost priorities as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RMC, Dipankar Panda, has been busy looking into other works as the OSD to the Governor.
Despite holding a responsible position to look after the proper functioning of the corporation and jobs related to it, the RMC CEO has been not attending to phone calls.
Meanwhile, Deputy CEO of RMC RK Sinha holds similar view. Officially not on vacation, the officials are not doing their work in the stipulated time schedule.
Residing in a posh colony of the city, the residents of SBI colony and others residing nearby it at Burdwan compound are forced to face the inconvenience due to broken roads and open drainage flowing over it, even after the tender for the repairing work has been put on the notification counter of RMC from last five months.
Not answering to the calls, the CEO and Deputy CEO of RMC are in no mood to keep up the pace of the work of the municipal corporation.
“RMC lacks resources and even requires budgetary allocations for finalising the tenders for building or repairing of the roads under the MLA fund. The government is yet to take nay action on it,” answered Ranjeet Kumar Sinha, Deputy CEO, blaming the government for being inactive.
Though RMC has not yet issued any tender notification for repairing of pitched roads in several colonies of Burdwan Compound, OCC Compound and several other colonies in the state Capital. Colonies are in pathetic conditions, making residents face problems in daily commutation.
