Panchkula, March 20 -- The Haryana Human Rights Commission on Thursday issued strict directions to officials expressing serious concern over the poor condition of infrastructure and delays in execution of works in Panchkula. The Commission was hearing two complaints related to civic issues in the city. During the resumed hearing, complainant Deepanshu Bansal opposed the report submitted by the executive engineer of Panchkula Metropolitan Development Authority (PMDA). He alleged that the road adjoining Sector 15/Industrial Area Phase-II has not been constructed in accordance with prescribed engineering standards and is riddled with potholes. A report by Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) stated that water supply and sewerage systems in Sectors 1-21 and Industrial Areas Phase I and II have been developed and maintained, and that the 57 MLD sewage treatment plant in Sector 20 is being upgraded. The Panchkula municipal corporation (MC) said re-carpeting of dividing roads in Sectors 10/15 and 15/16 has been completed, with the work under Defect Liability Period and a 5% penalty imposed on the contractor. The Commission criticised the concerned department for their casual and indifferent approach towards issues of public importance, rejecting attempts to justify delays through technicalities. The additional chief secretary, industries, Haryana, was directed to personally ensure expeditious finalisation of the tender process. The MC commissioner was asked to immediately undertake road repairs .
