Contractors responsible for the construction of the Guwahati flyover have been warned by Assam’s Chief Secretary of facing penalties due to the poor condition of service lanes. The government has expressed dissatisfaction over the state of these lanes, which are vital for managing traffic during the ongoing construction work. The poor maintenance of these lanes has led to severe traffic congestion and public safety concerns, prompting the government to take action. During an inspection, the Chief Secretary noted that the substandard quality of service lanes was causing significant inconvenience to commuters, worsening traffic issues in the area. As a result, contractors were warned that unless immediate improvements are made, they will face strict penalties. The government's ultimatum is aimed at ensuring that contractors adhere to quality standards and meet deadlines without compromising on public convenience and safety. The flyover project, which is essential for easing congestion in Guwahati, has been marred by delays and mismanagement of traffic flow. The poor condition of the temporary service lanes has aggravated these problems, as vehicles are forced to navigate through poorly maintained roads. This has caused disruptions in traffic flow, leading to frustration among commuters and raising questions about the contractors' accountability. The government has emphasized the need for contractors to take corrective measures swiftly to avoid further penalties. This move is part of a broader effort to ensure timely completion of the flyover and improve infrastructure management in the state. By holding contractors accountable, the Assam government seeks to reinforce the importance of quality control and public safety in all infrastructure projects, ensuring better service delivery and reducing inconvenience for the city's residents.
