KOCHI: The CPM-backed Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative Society (ULCCS), which has been bagging numerous development contracts ever since the LDF government came to power, won another deal when the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) awarded the tender for the demolition and re-construction of Palarivattom flyover on Friday.
Interestingly, the agency has won the contract only a few days after the Opposition parties protested in the assembly that the government had allegedly provided it access to the state police database.
“DMRC has finalised the agency for execution of the work through tendering and the orders have been issued to ULCCS, Vatakara, for `18.77 crore. DMRC finalised the tender 22 days after the issue of government order. Several agencies bid for the project but ULCCS quotes lowest amount “ said a senior officer privy to the tendering process. Reconstruction of Palarivattom flyover was handed over to DMRC on October 25.
