the NIT with an estimated cost of Rs. 2,24,22,900/ was floated. In fact, the construction of the entire drain in question has been completed and the resultant debris has also been removed from of the construction site. 1200 meters of PCC road also form part of the NIT, out of which admittedly 900 meters road has been constructed. The road for the stretch of 300 meters could not be completed in time for the reason of the contractor having played truant.
