Uttarakhand News: Government strict in Uttarkashi’s Polytechnic case
The government had released an amount of three crore rupees to the corporation for the construction of the building. But the surprising thing is that the place was selected for the polytechnic. Even after spending three crores in eight years at that place, not a single brick was laid.
Technical Education Minister Subodh Uniyal has called for a report on the Government Polytechnic case at Pipli in Uttarkashi district.

Soon a meeting of departmental officers and the executive body will be called in this regard. A case will be filed against the officials of UP Nirman Nigam for not starting the work on the proposed schemes.
