Ludhiana Engineers Accused of Embezzlement in Development Tenders

Ludhiana Engineers Accused of Embezzlement in Development Tenders

Some engineers in Ludhiana are being accused of cheating the government out of money.

A former contractor says they made the cost of road repairs too high, potentially costing the government a lot of money.

For example, they might have said a road repair cost more than it should, possibly saving around Rs 1.20 crore.

The contractor has asked the Chief Minister to look into the spending to see if these accusations are true, especially since the government doesn't always have enough money to pay its employees.
