Anomalies in GAD

Imphal, September 01 2011:
Serious anomalies and inconsistency have been detected in General Administrative Department (GAD) with the goods it procured not matching with the names of goods entered in the stock register.
This was detected in the course of investigation conducted by Vigilance Commission into the supply and supply order issued by GAD Under Secretary to M/S Monalisa, Paona Bazar for furniture and refrigerators in April this year.
The supply order was quite obscure in the sense that it mentioned furniture and refrigerators only without giving details.
As demanded by GAD, the firm did supply the demanded items.
However, it has been learnt that the particular firm has been approved for supply of furniture and nothing else.
Moreover, the items procured by GA did not match the names of items entered by the department's LDA in their stock register.
Taking serious note of these anomalies and manipulations, the Vigilance Commission has recommended that the particular firm should be blacklisted for supplying items for which it has not been approved as well as to initiate a departmental enquiry against two officials who were involved in issuing the fallacious supply order.
