In view of the rainy season, District Collector Mr. Himanshu Gupta has issued orders to stop the work being done by LG & P Company for laying underground gas pipeline in Jodhpur city with immediate effect and not to do any excavation work till further orders. Along with this, it has also been said that restoration of the previously excavated roads should be done within 15 days and submit the report to the district administration.
In the order issued by the District Collector, it has been said that the road is being excavated at various places by the company for laying underground gas pipeline, due to which there have been potholes at many places, as during the excavation due to the recent monsoon. Due to the accumulation of rain water in the pits and not bringing the roads back to normal, there is a possibility of loss of life.
It has been said in the order that if there is an urgent need in any area, then the work should be completed only after taking permission from the district collector on case to case basis. In the event of work being done without the permission of the District Collector, action will be taken as per the provisions of the Indian Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code (Criminal Procedure Code).
