Construction work still on hold in UP
A day after the state government announced pending construction work in big projects would restart from Wednesday, it had to rollback its decisions following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement to extend the lockdown till May 3. On Monday, deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, who is also chairman of the committee constituted to ensure early resumption of the construction work, had convened a meeting of departmental heads and principal secretaries of half-a-dozen departments and directed them to resume the work from April 15. A press note to this effect was also issued the same day. However, on Tuesday the deputy CM, contradicting his Monday’s order, directed departments concerned not to restart the construction work from Wednesday.
