However, during its two visits since June, the team found that the structures that had developed cracks were constructed without its knowledge. Construction of the new wall has begun and is expected to be completed within a month,” he added. The collector’s office has asked the contractors to speed-up the repair works, failing which their payments will not be disbursed.
