AGARTALA, Aug 28 (TIWN): With the just 1 year left as the deadline for completing the construction of the Tripura’s first flyover connection Dropgate to Fire brigade junction tainted NBCC Company have started playing the blame game by alleging negligence of DWS department. 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 TIWN 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 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.
