‘Illegal’ link road laid by BJP MP in Gurgaon removed
GURGAON: The Millennium City Express way Limited( M CE PL) on Wednesday removed construction materials from a road being laid allegedly by a BJP MP near Kherki Daula toll.
The toll authorities served a notice to the MP to remove the materials by Wednesday, failing which the concessionaire will remove it. The toll authorities had accused Sukhbir Singh Jaunapuria, BJP MP from Tonk-Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan, of constructing a road adjacent to the national highway and near the toll. The MCEPL is the concessionaire of the Delhi-Gurgaon Express way and is managed by a consortium of five banks. The lane or land in question where the MP’ s men dumped road construction material belonged to the expressway and, thus, the MCEPL is its custodian.
The MCEPL officials said that an earthmover was hired and labourers were deployed on site as well to have the construction materials removed.
Following a complaint on Sunday, the Kherki toll officials arrived at the spot and stopped the road construction work.
“Till Wednesday morning, the MP showed no urgency to remove the construction materials from the spot. Hence, the MCEPL decided to take care of it at its own cost. A bill for the expenses incurred will be sent to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for recovery from the MP. He tried building a link road between his land and the express way for his personal benefit ,” said the MCEPL executive supervising the removal work.
