Pending due to contractors after completion of works and stopping of works midway due to non release of fund to contractors were also discussed during the meeting .
Meanwhile, a source also revealed that the Enforcement Directorate is keen to conduct a probe on the multi-crore scam of MDS .
It may be mentioned that a former Chief Minister, three former Chief Secretaries, MDS Project Director and an Administrative Officer of MDS are listed in an FIR in connection with the scam.
