Officials inspecting the Rudraksha in city on Thursday
VARANASI: As work on the Japan-funded ‘Rudraksh’ — the Varanasi International Cooperation and Convention Centre (VCC) — is still pending, the possibility of completion of the Rs 186-crore project by December 15 has ended.
Divisional commissioner Deepak Agrawal, district magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma and municipal commissioner Gauran Rathi inspected the site on Thursday and decided to send a report against the monitoring agency CPWD to higher authorities.
The officials sought an explanation from the CPWD officials for failing to complete the work. The officials were informed that the work could not be completed as some workers were infected in the initial phase of Covid-19, the DM said.
