GAMES-VIGILANCE 2 LST

"Organisations respond to CTEO reports, and some
aspects are closed and in some cases advice is given for
disciplinary action against officers, when they are found
responsible," the Commission said.
It added that CTEO report is the "first step and does
not, in any way, assume the form of a final CVC report as it
is sought to be projected in different quarters.
"CTEO reports are followed by agency reply, CTEO
counter, agency’s further reply etc," it said.
An inspection by the Central Vigilance Commission had
found serious discrepancies like award of works at higher
rates to bidders, poor quality of construction and grant of
work to ineligible agencies in as many as 16 different
Commonwealth Games-related construction works being carried
out by various departments here.
The cost of the projects have been estimated to be
over Rs 2,000 crore.
Six of them are being done by Public Works Department
(PWD), three by Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), two each
by Central Public Works Department (CPWD), Delhi Development
Authority (DDA), New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and one by
RITES, a Government of India Enterprise, the report said.
The CVC has written a letter of complaint to CBI
asking for a probe into alleged criminal conspiracy by unknown
MCD officials in granting work for upgradation of street
lighting in the national capital.
According to the report, "Almost all the organisations
executing works for Commonwealth Games have considered
inadmissible factors to jack-up the reasonable price to
justify award of work at quoted rates citing urgent or
emergent circumstances.
Despite higher rates, poor site management and delays
and quality compromises have been observed." PTI AKV
