Potholes on 28-km stretch: Outer ring road under CBI scanner for corruption in construction?

Hindustan Times  

LUCKNOW Hailed as a game-changer for commuters since its inauguration in March, the 104-km outer ring road in the VIP constituency of defence minister Rajnath Singh could well be under investigation by the CBI over allegations of corruption in construction. Within five months of its opening, major potholes surfaced on a 28-km stretch of the road, between Sitapur road and Dewa Road, following which the issue of poor construction was raised in August while action was recommended by the NHAI against the work agencies during that period. The ring road, which is a quadruple carriageway, connects six state highways, including Sultanpur road, Rae Bareli road, Hardoi road, Kanpur road, Ayodhya road, and Sitapur road. A team also visited the ring road to take stock of construction work while a list of employees and contractors was also made and they may be called for questioning.
