AGARTALA, Aug 18 (TIWN): As everyone knows NBCC have been known for the mismanagement in construction of different project, for which they are also being black listed once again their mismanagement is proved as tainted NBCC Project Head has made a narrow escape from the fact and have put the blame on DWS department for the delay in the construction of the first Flyover in Tripura.

Talking to TIWM correspondent, NBCC Project Head Amit Mallik said that the construction  of the first Flyover in Tripura might get delayed as the assigned construction agency NBCC is facing tough time with the drilling work mainly opposite to Bordowali petrol pump due to the alleged lack of communication from DWS department  regarding the under lying water pipes crossing the roads.

He further said that DWS department  has not communicated with the construction agency regarding underlying water pipes the workers are facing problem in drilling. Now the biggest problem in front of agency which is creating hurdles in the construction is regarding land acquisition issue mainly opposite to Bordowali petrol pump.  

The land acquisition issue at Bordowali and underground water pipe channels are creating problems for the agency to carry out the construction work in the mentioned area. As the government has not yet made clear the underground set up of the underground water channels the construction agency is facing problem to carry out the work smoothly, added Project Head.

Slow pace of construction and sluggish work by contractors have delayed the  first flyover in the state, causing daily chaos in state. However, for VIPs there is a separate line via Bordowali via which all Ministers go through in Agartala.

The road has become muddy along with big size of bricks over the road. The road on both side of the flyover construction work has become highly risky and time consuming. In office hours just to pass from AD Nagar to Battala area it takes 1 hour time.

Monsoon has damaged the condition more now.  But during Badal Choudhury’s visit, it was announced that in 2017 November the flyover mostly to inaugurate.

During the visit PWD Minister had just pressured upon the quality, but there is no possibility to complete the work before 2017 November.

Whereas the flyover construction is creating regular traffic jams from Battala and turned the roadway beside Flyover into a bad shape, PWD Minister has shown a sudden concern about the issue.

However, the flyover construction is emerging various controversies. On April 22, just after few days of Kolkata flyover collapsed, Tripura's 1st flyover project had failed important load-testing causing all sandbags collapsed in front of hundreds of commuters for a long day.

 Tripura's CPI-M Govt.  awarded Rs 300 crores  Agartala Flyover project to Hyderabad based Nagarjuna Construction Company (NCC) which was blacklisted by Pondicherry Govt in 2012 for indulging into massive irregularities which was unearthed by the Anti-Corruption Branch of CBI in Chennai.
