In cases where irregularities are found, both legal and departmental actions will be ensured against those responsible, the minister said and directed all superintending engineers (SEs) and executive engineers (XENs) to inspect the quality of 18 roads every month and submit reports.

“Whenever a road construction project is underway, the SDOs and JEs must remain present in the field and conduct regular inspections. If negligence is observed or complaints are received from the public, immediate action must be taken and a report submitted,” he said while chairing a departmental review meeting.

“The days of delaying work by keeping files pending are over. The public now demands accountability, and we must deliver.”

The minister also reviewed the status of the ‘Mhari Sadak’ mobile application. Officials informed that 6,523 complaints have been received so far, out of which 2,611 stood resolved. Gangwa said that this app serves as a direct bridge between the public and the department, and instructed that all pending complaints be resolved on priority.
