nDisappointed with the answer of the Urban Development Minister, BJP members on Thursday walked out of the Chhattisgarh Assembly on the subject of issuing tender without administrative sanction.
This happened on the fourth day of the Budget session.
BJP's Ranjana Dipendra Sahu sought a date on which technical sanction was given for construction of a commercial complex at Balak Chowk in the Dhamtari Municipal Corporation limits.
Had it been completed and, if not, was tender issued for a second time? If yes, what action has been initiated against the contractor, he asked.
Minister Dr Shiv Dahariya said a technical sanction was given on January 18, 2016. Another sanction was given and work order was issued on March 7, 2019. The work was to be completed in 11 months.
He said that as the earlier contractor did not complete the work, again a technical sanction and tender were called.
Sahu asked how tender was called a year before technical sanction. Alleging irregularities, the BJP sought a probe. When the demand was not conceded, BJP members walked out in protest.
