The construction of the university auditorium is running far behind schedule, reports Dainik Bhaskar. Several other works, including the kitchen and associated facilities, also remain incomplete. Despite previous inspections by the Commissioner and District Magistrate, the construction company has continued to display negligence, preventing the auditorium from progressing at the expected pace.
Recently, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Himanshu Verma, along with Public Works Department (PWD) officials, inspected the ongoing work. Expressing dissatisfaction over the slow pace, he directed that all pending work be completed within the stipulated timeline. Vice-Chancellor Dr K. Ramachandra Reddy and XEN Manish Singh from the PWD also reviewed the progress of the administrative building construction.
During the inspection, officials questioned the Project Manager regarding the slow pace in the auditorium and the reduced workforce. They also instructed that pits dug in the garden near the cottages be filled immediately to ensure the safety and site hygiene.
Last week, Commissioner Anil Kumar Dhingra and District Magistrate Deepak Meena had also visited the site and expressed concern over the delays. They had directed that all pending works be completed within the prescribed timeframe. Despite these instructions, limited progress has been observed, leading officials to reprimand the responsible parties.
Project Manager Muneshwar assured that manpower would be increased and all necessary measures taken to complete the remaining work on time, reports The Daily.
