AGARTALA, April 22 (TIWN): Tripura's 1st flyover project hit roadblock as important load-testing on Thrusday failed causing all sandbags collapsed in front of hundreds of commuters. Tripura's CPI-M Govt awarded Rs 300 crore Agartala Flyover project to Hyderabad based Nagarjuna Construction Company (NCC) which was blacklisted by Pondicherry Govt in 2012 for indulging into massive irregularities which was unearthed by the Anti¬Corruption Branch of CBI in Chennai. CPI-M's historical bond with Hyderabad based corrupt companies in recent years is evident from the fact that Tripura's CPI-M Govt to Bengal CPI-M Governments led by Buddhadeb Bhattacherjee hand-picked tainted, blacklisted companies for Flyover constructions. Tripura’s 1st flyover project‘s load test failure exposed lack of proper construction engineering as the massive sand dump collapsed.

Nagarjuna Constructions (NCC) was doing load test at Bordowali to check the stability of structure but surprisingly  load testing sand dump collapsed with he structure. 

Heavy equipments and machineries are piled up at the spot to carry out the load test at Bordowali before beginning with the pillaring work but the sudden collapse of the sand dump (load test) has shattered the hope of safe construction of flyover.

Sudden spike of flyover construction to meet deadline, enhancing profits causing inferior quality construction which ead to the sudden collapse of the sand dump load testings.

Apart from that, Hyderabad based  Nagarjuna Construction company owner AVS Raju is relative and business partner of jailed corporate thief Ramlinga Raju, former Chairman of Satyam Computers.

So, one can imagine the fate of Tripura’s first flyover at Agartala as Manik Sarkar's CPI-M Govt. awarded Rs 300 crore flyover construction contract to a well known corrupt company.

In April, 2012, Puducherry Govt  PWD has blacklisted four construction companies including Nagarjuna Constructions  and banned their official dealings with the PWD for a period of three years from the date of issue of notice for alleged irregularities in the construction of water treatment plants  at Yanam .

Rs 300 crore Agartala Flyover Project in now ongoing but no one knows how much Nagarjuna Constructions paid to party funds in exchange of compromising quality of construction ?

If Kolkata flyovers are collapsing due to substandard work by Hyderabad based tainted companies, then same may happen in Tripura too in future, for which Manik Sarkar Govt will be fully responsible.

On March 31st, 2016 at least 24 people died and over 100 got injured after Kolkata's Vivekananda flyover in the congested Posta area of northern Kolkata crashed.

Going by the statistics, decades old negligence shows CPI-M 's primary interest always remained enriching party funds with corruption money rather than serving masses as per poll planks.

Otherwise how CPI-M will explain that in 2007, Bengal Govt picked a tainted Hyderabad  based company IVRCL Infrastructures and Projects Ltd, against this company multiple cases listed nationwide for cheating, corruption, even Jharkhand Govenment recommended CBI probe in 2010 and blacklisted IVRCL for bribing former CM Madhu Koda to bag Rs 410-crore rural electrification project.

In similar fashion, allegdly IVRCL Infrastructures bribed then Bengal PWD Minister Ashok Bhattacharjee, CPI-M Govt to bag Vivekananada Flyover Rs 164 crore contract in 2007 which collapsed in 2016.

Why Bengal, Tripura's CPI-M Governments prefer tainted Hyderabad companies to implement projects and compromise public safety ?
