The
members of the Balangir Action Committee led by its convenor Gopalji Panigrahi
and others on Tuesday submitted a petition to the Superintendent of Police
(Vigilance) Sambalpur through DSP Vigilance, Balangir, to inquire into the
irregularities committed in preparation of financial proposals submitted to the
Center for construction of a bypass road in the town.
It
would be pertinent to mention here that a proposal of Rs 241.70 crore was sent
to the Center for construction of the Balangir bypass road. Two National
Highways namely NH-26 and NH- 54passs through the Balangir town which create
huge traffic problems, besides rising accidents. For construction of the bypass
road, land acquisition is required. In collusion with teshil officials, a
proposal quoting high prices of land was submitted to the Center, which exceeds
the benchmark value of land fixed by the Center.
However,
the Center returned the proposal to the State Government stating that excess
land price has been quoted for land acquisition and asked to send a revised
estimate.
Accordingly,
a proposal of Rs 224crore was sent again to the Ministry of Road Transport and
National Highways. However, this proposal was also not accepted by the
Ministry and it was returned.
An
estimate of Rs 190 crore has been submitted latest to the Center for bypass
road.
“Today
we submitted our petition to Superintendent of Police (Vigilance ) Sambalpur
through DSP Vigilance Balangir to inquire into the irregularities in proposal
submitted to the Center for the Balangir bypass road and take action against
them,” said convenor Panigrahi
“We
would sent the petition to our SP office and would start a probe after
getting instructions from there,” informed DSP Vigilance Parmeshwar Kisan to
mediapersons.
