Refuting the allegation of PWD officials preventing drawal of bill for the construction of Covid Care Centre near Loukoipat in Bishnupur district, as raised by a sub-contractor, PWD chief engineer Ningombam Subhash dismissed the accusation as baseless and malicious.
Addressing a press meet at his office here on Sunday, Subhash said that the department submitted all the files to the authority-concerned in time and none of the department official demanded any bribe for releasing the bill.
He further said that files related with the construction of the particular Covid Care Centre have been submitted on March 22, 2022 .
After that, the department has not received any approach for bill payment till date and the department has no knowledge on status of the file, the chief engineer said.
Decrying the allegation against the department officials, he urged all concerned not to repeat such misleading claims aimed at tarnishing image of the department and to visit the department to sort out issues, if there is any.
