Imphal, August 21 2013:
All Manipur PWD Contractor Association has alleged commission of error in the 8th phase tender of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) .
L Guni Singh, President of the Association, while speaking to journalists at Manipur Press Club here today said that though the 8th phase tender of PMGSY has been done, its result is kept undeclared and not uploaded on the internet yet.
This shows that the said tender was defect, and has not followed the Standard Biding Document (SBD) guidelines.
"This tender has 50 packages comprising of Rs 204 crore package amount.
After a complain being lodged to Rural Development Minister and Prime Minister, the PM Office has sent two officials to conduct National Quality Monitoring and the statements of the contractors were taken on August 19 and 20.This will surely produce a true report", Guni Singh
expressed hope.
He continued that when some of the individuals were given work order of the 8th phase, the remaining of them have not been given yet even when the 9th phase is nearing.
The tender is a 100% Central Govt funding.
