Raijor Dal Accuses Assam PWD of Rs 8.84 Crore Scam
Imagine the government is putting on a big cultural event.
Someone is saying that the people in charge didn't follow the rules when they hired companies to help with the event.
They didn't ask different companies to offer their best prices; instead, they just gave the job to one company without a fair competition.
This company was paid a lot of money.
The people making the accusations are saying this isn't fair and that the government might be helping their friends get rich.
They want someone to investigate to make sure everything was done correctly.
Raijor Dal alleges an Rs 8.84 crore scam within Assam's PWD related to the 'Jhumoir Binandini' event.
The allegations involve bypassing the tender process and awarding contracts to firms without proper bidding.
ACME Event and Expo, owned by Bhupinder Pal Singh, received the contract for the event.
Various expenses for the event, including rentals and installations, are detailed in the allegations.
Raijor Dal demands an independent inquiry into the matter, citing evidence of irregularities.
