No. 8/8/2023-MAG/L&O/(Vol.III)/3375
Under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1973
Whereas this Office is in receipt of a letter dated 24-11-2023 from Executive Engineer, WD VII (NH), PWD, Junta House, Panaji, Goa, stating that there lies a damaged crane (Model HC 340) of capacity 500 MT at the site of the Six Lane Mopa Link Road (NH 166S) site at Pernem Taluka near Suke Kulan.
And whereas, it is informed by the PWD vide the above letter dated 24-11-2023 that the said damaged crane is obstructing the launch of I-Girders and casting of two slabs of ROB near Suke-Kulan (Railway KM 389/1-2) and further that the crane is posting a grave danger to the employees involved in the construction activity since the hydraulic control of the crane has been completely charred.
And whereas, the PWD has also enclosed a letter dated 02-11-2023 by the Assistant Engineer, RRM Camp Office, Rawanfond, Kepem Road, Navelim, Goa 403707, addressed to the PWD, stating that the crane's current location presents a significant safety concern and it is crucial to ensure the safety of the railway operations around and the smooth flow of the train traffic on the tracks.
And whereas, the PWD has requested this Office to intervene in the matter to shift the damaged crane from the location.
In view of the above, upon perusal of the PWD report, it is evident that the crane poses a grave danger to the railway operations and also the employees involved in the construction activity. In my considered opinion, this is a fit case to be initiated under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers vested in me under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, I, Dr. Sneha S.
