The Central Public Works Department, a major central government authority, has requested the Ministry of Home Affairs not to examine its project estimates as it causes delay in taking up the construction works.
In a letter to Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla, CPWD Director General Prabhakar Singh said it has been observed that proposals or estimates submitted by the Central Public Works Department are examined at various levels in the MHA or Central Para Military Forces.
Singh said that estimates are made with “sound engineering practices” by competent technical professionals and should not require further scrutiny.
