Boko, Aug 13: The entrance door of the newly inaugurated Co- District Commissioner’s Office developed cracks within minutes of its opening on Tuesday.
Public Health Engineering minister Jayanta Malla Baruah formally inaugurated the office at Dakuapara in Boko.
The event was expected to mark a new chapter in administrative efficiency for the region. However, the celebration was short-lived as cracks appeared and the main entrance door gave way, drawing murmurs of concern among attendees.
According to eyewitness the mishap occurred due to poor-quality construction work, allegedly under the supervision of the contractor and departmental engineer.
The renovated facility stands on the premises of the former National Highways Authority of India’s Kamrup Division office, which was vacated after relocation. Renovation responsibilities were undertaken by the Public Works Department (Housing).
Following the mishap, newly appointed Co-District Commissioner Priyanshu Bharadwaj termed the incident “unfortunate” and assured that necessary repairs would be undertaken promptly.
Attempts to reach PWD (Building) officials for comment went unanswered. The incident has reignited public concerns over the quality and accountability of government infrastructure projects, especially in critical administrative facilities meant to serve the public.
