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. Even after spending three crores released in two installments in 2015 and 2018 to UP Construction Corporation, the executive body for the polytechnic institute, no work has been done on the ground in eight years.

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.

In 2012-13, the government approved the construction of a government polytechnic institute in Pipli village. The people of Gawana village donated their land to this institute. The work of the building was handed over to the UP Construction Corporation. 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.
