Further it is submitted in the matter that said work of extension of culverts between KM 18.00 to 19.00 , right from village Balhsina to Kathuin has been widened with the Gravity wall and extension of culverts where this simple type of Retaining wall has been provided in three lengths approximately 30 mt, 40 mt and 130 mt consisting of mass concrete (PCC) where main function of the mass concrete is to provide dead weight to give stability against the thrust of retained earth and the unit stresses in concrete (PCC) are very low and these walls are so proportioned that there are no tensile stresses and because of massive construction these retaining walls are more resistant to destructive agencies than other walls. It is found during the visit of this segment that the construction agency has taken no cognisance of the construction of parapet walls and the boulder filling required before the earth filling in this behalf and horizontal levels of the earth filling going below to the normal ground surfacing because of the raining season, where the retaining wall is only designed for the earth pressure and effective drainage should be provided to prevent the water from accumulating at the back and thus coming in contact with the face of the wall, however there is no such consideration for the required approach up to the possible surcharge may develop cracks and settlement, because of seepage for which no one could be held responsible at this stage of the duty by construction agency and the inspection for completion certificate required for the stability of structure in position. As such HPPWD authorities and construction agency must do needful in the interest of work and transparency, for further improvement of the lapse giving personal attention and expediting the good results:-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal pradesh phone number, 9459334377
