Imphal, August 07 2017:
Imphal Municipal Corporation (IMC) Works Chairperson Oinam Romeo has clarified that BJP Members of IMC have nothing to do with the auctioning of eight vehicles of the corporation .
Speaking to media persons today, Romeo said that tender notice for auctioning the vehicles was issued on May 22 this year and tender was held on May 29 .
At that time, Congress Corporators were running the IMC as they were in majority.
The Congress-majority IMC faced no confidence motion on May 5 .
BJP Corporators assumed power in IMC only on June 9 .
As there is a rule which says that auctioned vehicles should be delivered within 10 days of holding tender, the BJP-majority corporation gave away the auctioned vehicles in the month of July .
A committee has been constituted to enquire into the vehicle auction.
Meanwhile IMC has sent explanation calls to IMC's engineering officer Th Sudhirkumar, assistant engineer (mechanical section) Ch Maneka and section officer S Ranjan, Romeo added.
