Chennai: Welcoming the Madras High Court verdict cancelling the tenders issued for development of village roads without the permission of the elected local bodies, DMK President M K Stalin warned district collectors that they would not be able to escape the clutches of law if they connive with the State government in its alleged corrupt practices.
“The government should do away with the practice of issuing e-tenders by using the Collectors to do the job and entrust the responsibility with the local bodies,” Stalin said in a statement on Friday.
