Poor state of affairs in ULB department as backdoor recruitment scam in Thanamandi Municipality not taken to its logical end; Government fails to book tainted officers

It is pertinent to mention here that PWD always remained in news for various financial frauds over the years including poor quality blacktopping work at many places. Recently, a poor quality blacktopping work was also reported from Loran area. Similarly, many roads in Mendhar tehsil were not blacktopped properly over the years, because tainted PWD officials believe in earning again and again from same roads. They have nothing to do with ensuring top level blacktopping work for the benefit of public. However, in a shocking state of affair, a blacktopping work of Link road from Shiv Khori to temple up to Nabani under languishing was e-inaugurated by Principal Secretary PWD on 3rd October, but within 12 days, the said work has been exposed due to very poor quality blacktopping work as grass has started to come out from within the road from different stretches and it shows that PWD engineers compromised with the quality just to earn more commission from the said project. Store frauds, Telecom cables frauds, bills passed on fake and repeated works, murdering of funds under non plan and many heads, like wise many blunders have taken place in PWD Poonch district. The latest episode of PWD Poonch befooling its Principal Secretary by pleasing him through e-inauguration of poor quality blacktopping work of link road shows that these tainted officials can do anything with a sole agenda of hitting financial gains by any means and it shows that everything is “Golmaal” in PWD department. Will Principal Secretary PWD investigate the matter? Only time will tell.
