Ludhiana Road Projects Face Delays and Quality Concerns Amid Public Scrutiny
In Ludhiana, a Rs 165-crore road infrastructure project remains stalled nearly two months after a Delhi-based firm was selected as the lowest bidder, with the Municipal Corporation yet to issue a work order amid ongoing reviews. Separately, concerns have arisen over the quality of a Rs 6.5-crore road recarpeting project in the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar Scheme, where work reportedly continued during heavy rain, prompting residents and activists to question supervision and call for an inquiry into potential misuse of public funds.
