New Delhi: The authorities seem to be taking a dig at deadlines, again. Despite chief minister Sheila Dikshit's order to stop all digging work in the city by July 31, civic agencies, discoms and telecom companies continue to open new fronts across the city.
Though the CM's office had categorically ruled out deviations in deadlines, Times City on Monday found that agencies had started digging work on new stretches all over the city. In GK-I, GK-II, Panchsheel Park, area near India Gate, Pamposh Enclave and Daryaganj, work related to laying of underground wires, installation of streetlights and streetscaping had started only a day ago on Sunday.
Most labourers working on site were not aware of the deadline and had no idea when the digging work would be completed. A labourer busy laying underground wires in GK-I said: "If it rains again on Tuesday, our work will be delayed further. We could not take up the task of laying underground wires during the weekend due to heavy showers.'' Delay is just a part of the problem. The material dug out has been left to rot on the road causing massive inconvenience to motorists and residents. Member GK-I RWA, Rajiv Kakaria, said: "Malba is picked up from one site and dumped at a place close by. In some areas, only a portion of the malba is cleared. Amid chaos, the civic agencies are continuing with their digging work.''
