Haryana CM says safe, smooth mobility is state's top priority
In the state of Haryana, the top government leader is called the Chief Minister.
He held a big meeting with officials who take care of roads and other public works.
He said that keeping roads safe and smooth for people is the government's most important job.
People can use a mobile app called 'Hamari Sadak' to complain about potholes and damaged roads.
The Chief Minister told workers to fix potholes quickly and without delay.
Workers also have to put reports of their repair work on the app so everyone can see it.
Officials who are lazy or do not fix problems will get in trouble.
Companies that build roads must finish on time and follow quality rules, or they will be punished and banned from future work.
He also asked for a map of all roads in the state to keep track of their condition.
Road builders will use cement concrete instead of bitumen if supplies are slow, so work is not held up.
Haryana Chief Minister Saini reviewed road projects with senior officials of 10 key departments, including PWD, HSAMB, Panchayati Raj and urban planning agencies.
He directed that pothole and damaged-road complaints lodged on the 'Hamari Sadak' mobile app be addressed promptly and on priority.
Repair reports must be mandatorily uploaded on the app, and officials found negligent face strict disciplinary action.
Contractors failing to complete works on time will be penalised, while those compromising on quality standards face FIRs and blacklisting.
Saini ordered state-wide road mapping, coordination with railways on pending overbridge and underbridge projects, and use of cement concrete technology if bitumen supply is delayed.
