What the DCE is doing is a mere face-saving gimmick. Was he inspecting the project when it started? He was always sitting in his air-conditioned office only for him to be a critic at the end of the project. Please, lets be pro-active.

Were the disability friendly features incorporated in the design given to the contractor or ontractors are supposed to construct in conformity with approved designs. Can the DCE be made to explain this?

Mr. Honesty, the original plan of the school is one that is disability friendly. besides all contractors are made to know that buildings must be disability friendly.

India corruption: Laloo Prasad Yadav jailed for five years
Laloo Prasad Yadav has denied the allegations and his family has said he will appeal Former Indian railways minister Laloo Prasad Yadav has been sentenced to five years in prison in a notorious case known as the "fodder scam". He was jailed on Monday after being found guilty of embezzling state funds intended to buy food for cattle while he was Bihar state chief minister. He has always denied the allegations. His family has said he will appeal. The sentencing is seen as a landmark step in tackling corruption in India where it is a major national issue. Yadav now becomes one of the first politicians to lose his parliamentary seat after a recent Supreme Court ruling which bans convicted legislators from holding office. On Wednesday, the government withdrew a controversial order which would have overturned the Supreme Court ruling and allowed convicted MPs to run for elections while appeals were pending. Delivering its judgement on Thursday, the special court in Ranchi in the eastern state of Jharkhand also ordered Yadav to pay a fine of 2.5m rupees ($40,481; £24,938). Arvind Singh, joint secretary of the bar association in Ranchi, said Yadav would serve five years of "rigorous imprisonment". He is among 45 people, including senior bureaucrats and politicians, who have been convicted by the court. The scandal involved embezzlement of 9.5bn rupees ($151m; £94m) meant for buying cattle fodder. The case first came to light in 1996, a measure of how long it can take for justice to be delivered in India. Another former Bihar chief minister, Jagannath Mishra, was also convicted on Monday and has been sentenced to four years in jail. There were a total of 56 defendants in the case. During the trial, seven of them died, two decided to give evidence for the prosecution, one admitted to the crime and one was discharged. Laloo Yadav is one of India's most colourful politicians. He leads the Rashtriya Janata Dal party in Bihar and has long been an ally of India's Congress party-led coalition government in Delhi. He resigned as chief minister of Bihar after the allegations of corruption arose. His wife Rabri Devi was installed in his place. Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal party lost power in state elections in 2005. Correspondents say the government has been beset by several high-profile corruption cases in recent years and public anger against politicians and officials seen as corrupt is at unprecedented levels. The Delhi-based election watchdog, the Association for Democratic Reforms, says that there are 1,460 serving lawmakers facing criminal charges. In the 543-seat lower house of parliament alone, more than 150 MPs are said to be facing criminal charges.The Supreme Court has recently been trying weigh in on the issue. Last week, the court gave voters the right to reject all candidates in elections - the judges said that such a move would help cleanse the political system in the country.

He is a newly appointed DCE and was not there when there projects were executed. The DCE has vast experience in rights based approach to development and hence his rejection of these projects. Since the passage of the disability law, all public buildings are supposed to be disability friendly. It think is a step in the right direction and all MMDCEs should endeavour to emulate

It is understandable if he is newly appointed and was not involved in the pre-project approval stage.
However in the light of serious shortage of classroom blocks, is this the right approach? The contractor should be made to correct the defect rather than to reject the whole building. This is contributing to financial loss and denying the kids their right to education.
The DCE should think through such situations rather than over-reacting. He made his point but fell short of achieving an objective.

We are marginalizing PWD in this country. Our pedestrian walks, our public buildings, schools and hospitals are not PWD friendly. I dove my heart to the DCE. We have to enforce PWD friendly projects. PWD like the blind should be able to walk on the streets unaided except his cane and memory. People in wheel chairs should be able to use our streets and cross roads unaided.

NDC DCE propaganda politics. This is the requirement so what was the DCE doing? This also shows the ignorance of the GNA.
