Yard Portion.

235m length completed and further work was kept on hold due to monsoon season. Meanwhile
nala widening inside BR Hemadurga apartments was objected by Apartment Residents on 25-12-

length of 1100m and finally 255m RCC box is completed out of 450m clear length available.

alignment of proposed nala, due to which extra care is taken while excavation and
restoration of accidentally damaged service lines consumed lot of time.
ii. BR Hemadurga stretch not handed over to take up work.

stiff resistance from residents claiming it as private road, the work was kept on hold.

out in 30m stretches consumed lot of time as RCC box construction sequence takes more time. In
view of slow progress of work and inconvenience the local people raised the issue several times.

close the contract and accordingly the local people requested to terminate work to the extent of
work taken up and requested to resume the work after monsoon.
