Panchkula, March 11 -- The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has issued strict directions to the commissioner of the municipal corporation (MC), Panchkula, in connection with complaints regarding poor civic infrastructure and deteriorating road conditions in the city. The commission observed that a report had been requisitioned from the MC commissioner, but no response had been received so far. In contrast, other departments - Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), Panchkula Metropolitan Development Authority (PMDA), and Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (HSIIDC) - had already submitted their replies in compliance with the directions. The commission has now asked the commissioner to depute a senior officer, well conversant with the case, to appear with the report at the next hearing, warning that failure to comply could invite action under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. During the hearing, PMDA informed the commission that the stormwater drain near Amartex Chowk and adjoining Sector 15/Industrial Area Phase 2 had been repaired and the road made functional, with the top bituminous layer to be laid within a week. One of the complainants, Deepanshu Bansal, alleged that inter-sector roads, sewerage systems and roads in the industrial area were in a dilapidated condition. Another complainant is S K Nayar, president of the Citizens' Welfare Association, Panchkula. Meanwhile, HSIIDC informed the commission that a Rs.22.21-crore tender for upgrading roads in Industrial Area Phases 1 and 2 had been floated and was under technical evaluation. The matter has been adjourned to March 19....
