RTI decisions always preferred to follow IRC guidelines in the cases of orders issued in connection with the road safety measures In this connection I have the honour to say that speed breakers constructed in violation of the guidelines in excess as designed by the IRC authority on Paonta Dehradoon highway known Shimla by pass road have been dismentalled by the NH authority Dehradoon on the RTI plea of applicant submitted before the NHAI is proof and evidence on the record and now it has come to the notice of applicant that in MC Panchkula Rumble strips installed without any guidelines of the IRC authority have also been noticed on the complaint of RTI processed by Residents welfare association with complaint that there vehicles are being getting damaged because of installing too many rumble strips as such these had been installed at such points where these are not required. and were installed against the IRC norms and guidelines so issued by the authority in this behalf MC Commissioner Road Safety adviser and the EE of civic body examined the issue and matter as well as complaint of the Residents welfare association and queried how the work was executed without any guidelines of the authority It was a matter of RTI complaint before the FAA and the complaint of the citizens was removed Hence therefore it is necessary to point out the such irregularities of the execution of works which has no necessity under the code of specification and tendered without reasonable justification of the work as such the MC installed rumble strips and the cat s eyes worth Rs 35 lakh on several roads across eight sectors before March -2018 as per the reply given under RTI act -2005 is also a confirmation of the engineering wing of the MC Panchkula.
