NEW DELHI: Heralding an end to roads lying unrepaired for long periods after being dug up in the capital, Delhi government has made it imperative on agencies that break up roads for work such as laying cables and pipelines or for other purpose to themselves fill the cavities and restore the roads. This is expected to remove the lack of coordination among various government bodies that are currently responsible for post-excavation repair work and thus reduce the time taken to return the roads to their original state.
 
Currently, land-owning agencies, like the municipal corporations, Delhi Development Authority and PWD, repair roads on payment by bodies such as Delhi Jal Board or the power utilities that carry out diggings. This would now change, Delhi urban development minister Satyendar Jain announced at an informal briefing on Friday. He said that following lieutenant governor Anil Baijal’s approval of the revised road restoration policy, whoever digs up the roads will now restore them too.

The new policy also specifies that restoration will be carried out within 48 hours of the digging work being completed. “This policy will speed up the process of road repair after they are dug up and also make restoration cost effective. More than that, it will make life easy for people who face trouble because of delayed repairs,” said Jain.

Under the new standard operating procedure, the agency planning to dig up the road will be required to submit a schedule for road restoration, besides timelines for road cutting after getting permission to carry out the digging. “During the road restoration, the project implementing agency will have to take care of the traffic congestion and security issues and after the completion of the project the agency will have to obtain a certificate for satisfactory completion of road restoration work. They will also have to provide necessary barricading and provide caution boards during the execution of the road repair,” a government circular said on Friday.
