The Public Works department (PWD) has finalised a concrete action plan to strengthen its vigilance mechanism across the State with better technological support, human resource and mobile testing lab facilities for quality check.
The details of the action plan meant for a scientific social auditing were announced by Public Works Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas after chairing a special meeting of the recently constituted vigilance committee at the Government Guest House in Kozhikode on Friday.
Mr. Riyas said the strength of the vigilance team, which now has four executive engineers under a Deputy Chief Engineer, would be improved with the support of more officers and the required number of official vehicles. Apart from upgrading the PWD’s existing quality control offices, there would be efforts to launch three mobile quality testing laboratories for the department with automatic report generation features, he said.
