Substandard projects to be rejected

JAMBI: Governor Zulkifli Nurdin pledged on Sunday that he
would reject any road projects in the province that did not meet
required standards.

He made the statement after realizing that most roads, be they
intercity or interprovince roads, in the province were in bad
condition.

The governor told the provincial office of settlement and
infrastructure to improve its control over road construction to
ensure that they meet required standards.

Zulkifli emphasized that roads were vital for the
transportation of humans, commodities and to facilitate
development projects.

The governor also promised to punish contractors who built
substandard roads. --Antara
