The MLAs in the coordination committee took a swipe at the Municipal Commissioner over the poor performance of the Rehla Atal Bridge, which has been embroiled in controversies since the construction of the state’s longest and longest bridge in the storm that hit on Sunday morning. In which the former minister Yogesh Patel gave a strict instruction to the municipal commissioner to keep pending payment of the contractor who built Atal Bridge.

The block used is of inferior quality
It may be mentioned that on Sunday, there was a rain shower with wind in the city of Vadodara. In which the safety wall of the Atal Bridge built from Geda Circle to Manisha Chowkdi, the longest in the state, collapsed and scattered on the road. The performance of this wall was poor to the extent that it was evident that the blocks used in the construction of the wall were of inferior quality.

The irresponsible statement sparked a debate
As the safety wall of Atal Bridge collapsed, the municipal officials immediately rushed to the spot and fought hard to save the contractor. Municipal Commissioner Dilip Rana himself defended the contractor of Ranjit Buildcom by giving an irresponsible statement that there is not a safety wall but a sanitation wall under the bridge. Earlier also, when the walls got cracked, they had defended the contractor. At that time, Vadodara Municipal Commissioner Dilip Rana’s irresponsible statement became a topic of discussion in the city.

MPs and MLAs were present
A coordination meeting is held in the municipality once a month to discuss and make suggestions for the development works of the city. The meeting was also held today. MP Ranjanben Bhatt and all MLAs were present in this meeting. Municipal Commissioner Dilip Rana was also present with him.

Defended the contractor
In this coordination meeting, the discussion started about the safety wall of Atal Bridge. In which the municipal commissioner defended the contractor and the MLAs took his head. In which former minister Yogesh Patel instructed the contractor to pay the outstanding bill no. And the commissioner was told in the meeting not to defend the contractor.

The government is also careful about bridges
Vadodara Majalpur constituency MLA and former minister Yogesh Patel said in a media interaction that the state’s longest Atal Bridge has been in controversy since its inception. Questions are being raised every few days. The bridge suffered major damage in normal rain on Sunday. It is a serious matter that instead of taking action against the contractor, the commissioner who visited the site defended him. If this plight of the bridge is happening today, this bridge is yet to see monsoon in the future. The government has also become cautious about bridges. Hence the municipal commissioner has been instructed to pending the outstanding bill of this contractor.
