Questions EE R&B Phek for issuing completion cert <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising People\u2019s Party (RPP) has accused a contractor, who was \u201csupposedly\u201d constructing roads at three places under Meluri sub-division, of making false claim and attempting to mislead the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In a press note, RPP said the contractor, with \u201cso-called completion certificates\u201d issued by the executive engineer (EE) PWD (R&B), Phek district, has filed an affidavit in the Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench, stating that the three projects were \u201calmost complete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In this regard, RPP has questioned EE PWD (R&B) Phek as to what motivated him to issue the completion certificates \u201cwhen the facts are otherwise.\u201d RPP reminded the EE that in April 2022, the RPP had filed an FIR with the Meluri Police station against the then EE and the contractor \u201con the basis of a fraudulent 100% Completion Certificate issued by the former.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Considering the \u201cbackground of massive fraudulent withdrawal\u201d amounting to Rs. 92,39,27,000, RPP said the incumbent EE should have been \u201ccareful and circumspect enough not to stir the hornet\u2019s nest given the sensitivity of the case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In his completion certificate, RPP said the incumbent EE certified that \u201cAkhen to Starlake\u201d (first work-order) was 90% completed as of September 9, 2023. \u201cThis is blatantly false. The earth-cutting work is still incomplete and haphazard even after the lapse of 12 years and the whole stretch of this road is un-motorable,\u201d RPP claimed.
Regarding \u201cLephori to Molhe Post\u201d (second work-order), RPP said the completion certificate remarked that the road was 75% completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In this regard, RPP questioned how can the road be 75% completed when work on that stretch was yet to start? RPP urged the EE to educate himself by visiting the area and check the overlapping of the projects works, which had led to this particular work being abandoned. On \u201cT.01 (Akash Bridge) to Kanjang\u201d, RPP said the completion certificate stated that 93% of the work has been completed. \u201cNothing can be farther from the truth,\u201d RPP said and pointed out that out of the 38 km work project, at least 40% was yet to be black-topped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Besides \u201clipstick\u201d blacktopping, RPP said the contractor was yet to build culverts, retaining and breast walls, and side drains. \u201cSo how did the E.E. arrive at the 93% figure?\u201d RPP further questioned.
Accusing EE Phek of issuing the completion certificate with mala fide intent, the RPP reminded that the public of Meluri had been suffering on account of corruption. It stated that road works that should have been completed within 18 months had stretched to 12 years. RPP said that instead of expediting the matter, RPP said EE has become a stumbling block, which it described was \u201ca matter of condemnation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Therefore, RPP has asked the EE to immediately rectify the completion certificate and also withdraw it from the High Court, Kohima Bench. Failure to comply, RPP cautioned it that could be compelled to file a complaint against him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
