|May 28, 2025
The water resources department (WRD) has directed all engineers to carry all repair and strengthening works of embankments ahead of the monsoon season kicking off from July onwards, during a review meeting held on Tuesday chaired by WRD minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary and senior officers of the department.
PATNA:
The WRD minister stressed that senior officers of the department should visit the embankments and also prepare a report of all bridges near the embankments, which are in rickety condition. "The embankments should be approachable. The engineers and contractors failing to comply with standard operating procedures for strengthening and upkeep of embankments would be facing strict action," the WRD minister said.
