LAKHIMPUR, April 30: The deadline of April 30 fixed by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal for the completion of repair and construction work of the critical embankments in the State was not met in Lakhimpur and Dhemaji. The Water Resources Department (WRD) could not complete the projects for the construction and repair work of the embankments going on in both districts within the deadline. It happened so because of the non-release of funds to the contractors concerned by the Finance Department and the non-allotment of work order by the WRD. For example, the construction work of the Ranganadi embankment under Flood Management Project (FMP), which was left unfinished last year, is still to be completed. Even the earth work is not completed in several portions of both embankments of the river and therefore, the geo-mate cannot be laid for their security. The embankment construction project of the river started in 2015 with a fund of Rs. 362 crore under the scheme mentioned.
