Maharajganj: PWD and contractor on backfoot after Dynamite News exposed their false claim of 'road completion' in UP

Maharajganj: The Public Works Department (PWD) had assigned the work of construction of about 12 km Maharajganj bypass from Shikarpur to Sinduria on 5 June 2021 at the cost of about Rs.2600 lac. The construction of road was still in progress but the contractor put up a 'Full Road Constructed' board on 4 April 2022. In fact by this time only half of the road was completed.
