Of these, 2,98,242 km of roads were under the Public Works Department (PWD) till January 2023.From 2016-17 to 2022-23, Rs 7,257.86 crore was spent on road development from the Central Road Fund, but 78 percent of the work was completed from 59 to 1,474 days from the scheduled time. In the absence of traffic survey and scheme, PWD took care of the identity and priority of roads. Traffic calculations were not done according to the standards of the Indian Road Congress, but were based on symbolic standards. Financial management also found flaws. Rules were violated in the tender process. Tenders were invited before the acceptance of the works and short -term information was released. Bills of 15 tenders out of 111 were revised and increased by over 50%, which provided unfair advantage to the contractors.Read:- You have given Chacha to Chacha, the nephew is always afraid … CM Yogi congratulated the Leader of Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey and saidCag suggestionsThe CAG has recommended to increase public awareness for solid waste management, use budget on time and proper use and not stop the budget prescribed for waste management.
