Ahmedabad is currently witnessing the construction of 18 bridges across the city. However, the opposition Congress in the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has alleged that the contractors are working at a slow pace despite having clear deadlines.

At a meeting of the AMC, the opposition alleged that the work for the Panjrapol flyover has only been completed 0.75% after months of the project being assigned.

The Standing Committee chairman responded that the delay was due to an ongoing court case, which had affected the pace of work.

It was further alleged that millions were being spent on building these bridges, but not a single officer from the corporation is keeping track of the amount of work completed on these constructions. The opposition demanded imposing a penalty on contractors not meeting deadlines.

The opposition leader also pointed out that no decisive action has been taken regarding the Hatkeshwar Bridge, which is involved in corruption issues, and awaits demolition. 

He alleged that only 55% of the flyover at Satadhar Junction has been completed, and the same is the case with the Panjrapol flyover.

The leader also alleged that despite working at snail's pace, the authorities have approved price hikes proposed by the contractors and even extended deadlines for projects.
