Punjab state government has suspended four PWD department employees after
a video of road construction amid torrential rain surfaced online. On social
media, a bizarre video of a guy from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, berating engineers
from the province's public works department for recarpeting a road in the midst
of torrential rainstorms quickly gained popularity. He told them over and over
to cease working, but no one listened and went on. The video was recorded by an
Aam Aadmi Party employee who promised to send it to the CM Helpline.
The
video was recorded on the street that runs between Nangal Khiladiya and Sherpur
Village in the Mahilpur neighbourhood of the Chabbewal electoral district. The
individual who recorded the video, Gurvinder Singh, was heard requesting that the
workers refrain from constructing the road in the rain. The workers and the
officer-in-charge present simply disregarded him and carried on with their
task.

Agency ANI posted a video that lasted one minute and 20 seconds long. In the
video, Gurvinder stated that he would get the contractor's name, phone number,
and address. He questioned a worker about the road's stability as it was being
built through torrential rain. When the employee remained silent, he turned to
the man operating the road roller and yelled, "Have some shame, Sardar Ji.
The public's hard-earned money is being wasted by you. This is the
Hoshiarpur-based Aggarwal Construction Company.
"The
person in charge indicated they had a truck of material ready to be used,"
he continued. It had to be put to use. But they squandered a significant amount
of taxpayer money utilising the vehicle that was loaded with materials.
Four
engineers were suspended by the Public Works Department, according to the
letter of suspension that The Tribune obtained. A road in District Hoshiarpur
is being built during rain, according to a video that has gone popular on
social media, according to the order. Sub Divisional Engineer Tarsem Singh,
Junior Engineer Vipan Kumar, Junior Engineer Parveen Kumar, and Junior Engineer
Jasbir Singh were the four engineers that received suspensions.
It is
noteworthy because water is regarded as asphalt's worst enemy when utilised to
construct roadways. Potholes are produced when water slowly erodes asphalt,
which leads to their continued growth. If such a road is constructed in the
rain, the asphalt won't form any bonds and will be washed away by the water.
