Now the question is, what quality of work is happening here? Locals say that in past the newly made roads turned bad within some months. Take an example of recently built Rs. 55 crore road in Khambhalia belt between Ramnath Mandir bridge to Bhanvad. The road is showing its reality within short period of completion of its construction. What needed is: some laboratory tastes, strict vigil, and stringent actions when something wrong is found in construction work.
