srinagar, Feb 26: With the reports that a group of contractors of the Housing Board has managed the execution of works worth crores of rupees without codal formalities, the Government has directed Managing Director Housing Board to clear the present procedure of works including other departmental works.
According to the official sources the Government has taken a serious note in this regard and has warned that nobody be allowed to violate the codal formalities of execution of works in the Housing Board.
Sources said that the Housing and Urban Development Department Civil Secretariat after receiving the representation from contractors/Piece workers of Housing Board for the immediate directions to the Housing Board authorities to initiate the process of e-tendering for execution of all the projects works, for safe competitive process of execution, the Housing and Urban Development Department Civil Secretariat in its letter no HUD/Plan/106/2015 which is in the possession of Early Times directed the Managing Director JK Housing Board to forward the representation along with the detailed note about the present procedure of works including other departmental works.
A copy of representation which is also in the possession of the Early Times reads that over the years a group of contractors has managed the execution of crores of rupees without codal formalities. "Over the last few years the working of Housing Board has been completely hijacked by a group of contractors. Scores of the projects for execution have been allotted without codal formalities and from time to time some contractors have resorted to pressure tactics and managed allotments of works worth crores without any codal formalities," the representation reads.
The representation further reads that though higher ups in the Housing Board time and again tried to adopt the approved working patterns, but the group of contractors used pressure tactics to stop such foolproof pattern of execution.
Sources said that the Government should initiate the process of e-tendering in JK Housing Board to prevent the loot and plunder of public funds envisaged for creation of infrastructure in the State. |
