Contract mafia behind broken roads & sanitation woes, claim councillors in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: Shoddy sanitation, broken roads and a city left to rot — these are the results of a contract mafia having taken root in the city, the city councillors have alleged. The councillors, at a meeting with chief principal secretary to the CM Rajesh Khullar on Monday, said contractors deliberately underquote projects to win bids, grease palms once the deal is sealed and then slash manpower and material costs to claw back their losses. Khullar held two sessions — one with the city councillors and the other with the top officials of the govt agencies — at Haryana Institute of Public Administration.

In the first session, Khullar interacted with the councillors of MCG, along with mayor Raj Rani Malhotra, and heard the main issues of their respective wards. He assured them chief minister Nayab Singh Saini is committed to resolving Gurgaon's problems and that positive results will be visible very soon. He emphasised the need for councillors' cooperation. The councillors alleged that contractors offer project rates below the official estimate and once the deal is secured, they pay out commissions to the MCG officials at multiple levels. To recover these costs, contractors reportedly cut corners. Councillors said the city continues to bear the brunt of this practice and pointed to deteriorating services in sanitation, road maintenance, desilting of drains and other projects. Ward 11 councillor Kuldeep Yadav said, "The contractors underbid the civic projects to secure contracts from MCG, only to later compromise on quality and manpower. For projects where they have to deploy 10 workers, they deploy only five just to save money. For example, if the project is estimated to cost Rs 100, the contractor will secure the project by offering to complete it for only Rs 70." "Then, the contractor will also spend 10-15% in commission to the officials at different levels. Such contractors, who underbid to secure contracts, should be blacklisted," he added. Ward number 25 councillor Anup Singh said, "At the special budget meeting of the House held in April, the councillors submitted a list of some of these contractors, who secure contracts below the project value and execute shoddy work. In my ward, for example, a drain desilting work was secured by the contractor at a cost of Rs 16 lakh, while the original estimation of the project was Rs 26 lakh. Consequently, he delivered poor service in desilting that drain. " Singh added, "After securing these projects by underbidding, they execute some work, click photos and submit it for proof. However, in reality, they compromise on the quality of the project." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

HC order paves way for disabled bank staffer's promotion after 5 yrs
1 2 Kolkata: Calcutta High Court has directed a public sector bank to give a physically disabled man working with the bank his promotion within 45 days, which was held back for nearly five years. It also directed the bank to give him a posting in Kolkata where he can have a support system. However, the division bench of justices Sujoy Paul and Smita Das De on Aug 14 directed that he would not get arrears of pay from the date of his restoration of promotion but his seniority and pay would be made on the basis of the post where he has been promoted. Anirban Pal joined the bank in 2005. In 2015, he met with an accident, resulting in 70% disability. In 2016, Pal did not participate in the promotion process (from Scale-III officer to Scale-IV) fearing transfer from Kolkata, but when he saw his two other colleagues with physical disabilities getting promoted without transfer, he applied. In Oct 2018, he was promoted but transferred to Patna. He approached the bank stating that in the absence of family support, it would be difficult for him to perform his duties and take care of himself in Patna. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

In 2020, his request for restoration of the promotion was rejected. H is matter came up before a single judge who dismissed the case, considering Pal approached in 2023 with a delay of three years and imposed a cost of Rs 3 lakh on the bank for disclosing details. Pal's counsel, Srijib Chakraborty, argued that March 15, 2020, to Feb 28, 2022, was a Covid period, wherein the SC also said that the period in between would not be counted for the purpose of counting limitation in any proceeding. The division bench accepted the reason for delay given by Pal's advocate, setting aside the order of the single judge. "The petitioner had a preferential right to be posted in Kolkata in view of the binding policy of the Department. A suitable and meritorious officer was not posted at Kolkata for reasons best known to the Department. No justifiable reason was spelt out in not posting the petitioner on promotion at Kolkata despite the mandate ingrained in the guidelines..." the HC held.
