Shahjahanpur’s Jalalabad MLA, Hariprakash Verma, conducted a surprise inspection of the Rampur Dhakadadi Bridge under construction in the Mirzapur area. The inspection took place despite a drizzle, and the MLA, under an umbrella, inspected the construction work.
During the inspection, the MLA expressed his displeasure with the slow pace of work. He instructed the officials present on the spot to complete the remaining work on the bridge within a month.
MLA Verma described the bridge as a “lifeline” for the region. He said that this would be the first time since independence that the people of the region would have easy access during the rainy season. His goal is to have traffic on the bridge open before the first heavy monsoon rains, freeing the villagers from waterlogging and muddy roads.
The MLA warned officials to ensure quality work is completed within the stipulated timeframe. He made it clear that any negligence in development work would not be tolerated. Local villagers and departmental employees were also present during the meeting.
