A House committee will probe a string of anomalies in the Public Works Department. Disclosing this on the floor of the House Speaker Pranab Kumar Gogoi said on Wednesday that the House panel will look into the alleged irregularities in inviting tenders from contractors . The Speaker’s announcement quelled AIUDF, AGP and BJP members who took on the PWD minister alleging many irregularities. Gogoi in his ruling said,” If someone is bidding with a lower rate than the fixed price, then obviously he will do an inferior work."
BJP MLA Manoranjan Das alleged that a section of contractors bid the tenders at lower prices of the fixed rate and eventually they get the work. He was joined by party colleague Prasanta Phukan. AGP MLA Keshab Mahanta and AIUDF MLA Gopi Nath Das also raised the same allegations.
