MP Firojia questions quality of Rs 283-crore Unity Mall in Ujjain, Union minister promises probe

A Unity Mall is being built in Ujjain on Harifatak Road, near the Mahakaleshwar temple, at a cost of Rs 283 crore. BJP MP Anil Firojia has questioned the quality of the construction. He alleges that substandard material is being used and that engineering norms are being ignored.

Firojia has complained about the matter to Union Minister Manohar Lal. The minister has assured a high-level inquiry and action against anyone found guilty.

According to the MP, he has visited the construction site two or three times. It was during these visits that he began to doubt the quality of the steel bars in particular. He said technical norms are not being followed there and quality checks are not being carried out regularly.

Firojia has questioned the quality not only of the mall but also of the Ujjain-Dewas-Badnagar and Ujjain-Garoth roads. He has also complained that a bridge in one project was damaged prematurely. Directions for an inquiry have been issued in these matters as well.
