Vij demands inquiry into Ambala Municipal Corporation tender

Haryana's Health Minister Anil Vij today raised objection over the tender issued by Ambala Municipal Corporation for the maintenance of Mahavir Park at Ambala City.
He also wrote a letter to Local Bodies Minister Kavita Jain in this regard today.
"It has come to my notice that Municipal Corporation, Ambala had floated a tender for maintenance of Mahavir Park, Ambala City on December 4, 2015, amounting to Rs 39,500 per month on trial basis.
"But the same tender with same terms and conditions was later allotted to someone at the rate of Rs 99,000 on January 19, 2016. The difference between the two amounts is huge and it shows that there is some irregularity," Vij wrote.

Vij, the Ambala Cantt MLA, told reporters that in the tender, it had been clearly mentioned that maintenance of all existing lights, swings will be done by party concerned at the original cost at which the tender was floated.
He said inspite of that the light inspector had again taken approval of Rs 40,618 for repairing of lights of Mahavir Park which was contrary to tender's terms, indicating that there was some irregularity.
Vij said he has also attached all the relevant documents along with the letter to the minister concerned and demanded a high-level inquiry.
