Flouting e-tendering norms, Faridabad MC favoured contractor over 5 years: CAG
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has highlighted that the Faridabad Municipal Corporation (MC) paid Rs 183.83 crore to a single contractor for different works between April 2015 and June 2020 by flouting the prescribed e-tendering process.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau, Haryana, is also probing the scam and two IAS officers are under the scanner. The CAG report was tabled before the Vidhan Sabha yesterday.
From the audit of the period between April 2018 and March 2019, the CAG assessed that Rs 7.85 crore was paid for 164 development works to contractor Satbir Singh and his agencies with slight variation in the name of the agency but having the same Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).
