A three-day training on Adjusted Guidelines, Standards and Procedures organized by Climate Resilient Local Infrastructure Centre (CReLIC) began on Tuesday, October 29 at the LGED headquarters’ training room. The training was inaugurated by Gopal Krishna Debnath, Additional Chief Engineer (Routine Duty of Chief Engineer), LGED.
In his inauguration speech, the Additional Chief Engineer (Routine duty of the Chief Engineer) mentioned that 7,722 kilometers of roads were initially damaged due to heavy rains and landslides. Apart from this, 1,011 bridges and culverts have been damaged. LGED has repaired 51 km roads and 96 bridges and culverts so far. As a result of climate change, these floods and landslides may continue in the future, so the data of previous years should be checked before preparing, designing and constructing each road and infrastructure. As a result, we can build sustainable long-term infrastructure.
