The 907 crore rupee Ujjain-Badnawar highway in Madhya Pradesh has deteriorated significantly within just 18 months, prompting an MP to file a complaint with the central minister regarding quality concerns.
A significant infrastructure concern has emerged in Madhya Pradesh as the Ujjain-Badnawar highway, constructed at a cost of 907 crore rupees, has reportedly deteriorated within 18 months of its completion. The rapid degradation of the road has raised serious questions about the quality of construction materials and workmanship used during the project.
The issue has been brought to the attention of the central government by a Member of Parliament, who has filed a formal complaint with the relevant central minister. The MP highlighted specific issues related to milling and bituminous concrete work, suggesting that these technical aspects were not executed to the required standards, leading to the premature wear and tear of the highway.
The complaint underscores the need for a thorough investigation into the maintenance and construction protocols followed for this major arterial road. As the highway serves as a crucial link in the region, its current condition poses safety risks to commuters and hampers economic activity. Authorities are now expected to review the project's quality assurance processes and address the grievances raised by the legislator.
