SAD opposes GMADA’s Rs 1,000-cr tender
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Mohali is upset about a big project worth Rs 1,000 crore announced by the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA).
They say this project combines many different types of work into one big contract.
The SAD leader, Parvinder Singh Sohana, thinks this will cause problems for small businesses and workers.
He believes the government is trying to give this big contract to large companies, which could lead to corruption.
The SAD is worried that many small contractors will lose their jobs and become daily laborers.
They are also concerned about the government selling important lands and markets in Mohali.
The SAD says they will fight for the contractors and workers, and if needed, they will go to court.
GMADA issued a Rs 1,000-crore tender for various development works in Mohali.
SAD alleges the tender promotes corruption and pushes small contractors out of the system.
The tender combines road, horticulture, and public health engineering works into a single contract.
SAD claims the government is preparing to sell prime-location sites and shamlat lands to builders.
SAD threatens legal action and protests if the tender is not addressed.
