{ PILIBHIT

MEERUT: The Uttar Pradesh government has suspended three senior officials of the Pilibhit zila panchayat after a road, constructed between Manhariya and Chanduiya villages at the cost of ₹1 crore, crumbled barely two months after completion.

Acting on the directions of governor Anandiben Patel, the government suspended additional chief officer Harmik Singh, assistant engineer Kalpana Singh, and junior engineer Gopal Babu on Monday, citing gross negligence, serious misconduct and dereliction of duty.

Orders have also been issued to file an FIR against the contractor responsible for the shoddy construction. The deterioration captured in viral videos shows the road's surface peeling off like a thin crust.
