BBMP tender violation: Govt seeks probe over alleged irregularities in Chickpet division

The Urban Development Department (UDD) has sought a probe into allegations of discrepancies in allotment of work in the BBMP’s Chickpet division.

In a letter addressed to BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath, the UDD mentioned three works costing Rs 26 crore pertaining to development of roads, drainage, footpaths and parks in different parts of the Chickpet Assembly constituency (packages 4, 5 and 6).

The civic body has floated tenders for seven works. The letter is embedded with a private complaint that alleges lack of transparency in awarding at least three contracts.
