NMC engineers gave forged papers on potholes

NAGPUR: Seven engineers of NMC's Dharampeth Zone who submitted forged documents relating to potholes in city to the standing committee now face disciplinary action. Eight other engineers of Laxmi Nagar Zone also face action for submitting false information on the same issue.

 The standing committee had conducted inspection of roads of over 12-metre width in six of ten NMC zones. It was to verify the reports of potholes submitted by the engineers. Chairman of standing committee Dayashankar Tiwari said engineers of Dharampeth Zone had actually submitted the data of potholes prepared last year. "Just the date was changed and paper was submitted. Additional deputy municipal commissioner Ravindra Kumbhare found that potholes reported to be repaired on some roads did not even exist. It is thus forgery and criminal offence. Corporator Praful Gudadhe found potholes over three times the number reported by the engineers. Directives have been given to take action against deputy engineer SS Pille and six junior engineers," he said.

Tiwari said that since the zones were given funds for repairing of the potholes, there is chance of financial loss being caused to NMC. In Laxmi Nagar zone, Tiwari said the engineers reported 340 potholes in the zone and all of them as repaired. "Corporator Parinay Fuke found around 1,700 potholes. Thus the report submitted was false. Assistant commissioner Subhashchandra Jaidev has been directed to issue show cause notice to deputy engineer and seven junior engineers," he said.

Asked about the other four zones, Tiwari said the reports from two zones including Gandhibagh and Satranjipura were satisfactory. "Report of Hanuman Nagar Zone was not submitted due to absence of corporator Raju Lokhande," he said. "The remaining four zones will be inspected on Tuesday by the members. The engineers even failed to repair potholes though enough time was given to them and they had no other work," said the chairman.

Corporation to set up more mini-industrial parks

KOZHIKODE: The corporation authorities have decided to set up more industrial parks to help aspiring entrepreneurs set up units.

These parks will be set up with government, semi-government and private participation in the newly-merged grama panchayats of Elathur, Beypore and Cheruvannur-Nallalam and Nellikkode industrial estate.

The move will accelerate the growth of the city where many developmental projects like UL cyber park, government cyber park (Thondayadu), marine park (Beypore) and knowledge park (Ramanattukkara) are coming up, the corporation feels.

It will also take steps to create more such industrial estates in the land available. Plans are afoot to set up a skill development centre in the Elathur industrial estate to impart training for beneficiaries in short-term courses in stitching, embroidery and toy making.

"Setting up of mini industrial estates will enable tapping opportunities in the industrial sector," said mayor A K Premajam. The provision to set up industrial estates is included in the 12th five year plan and budget presented for the year 2012-2013.

"We have 29 plots in the Nellikkode industrial estate. Twenty five of them have already been auctioned and the rest will be auctioned soon," she said.
