Probe sought into JSEB work allotment to BHEL

The Jharkhand Vikas Morcha-Prajatantrik (JVM-P) on Friday demanded a probe by a high-powered committee into the alleged irregularities in allotment of work to the Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited (BHEL) by the Jharkhand State Electricity Board (JSEB). A delegation of the party will meet governor Syed Ahmed on Saturday and submit a memorandum with relevant documents which proves that the JSEB has not followed the rules while allotting work to the BHEL. Party general secretary Pradeep Yadav said recently the JSEB awarded maintenance work for the Sikidiri Hydel Power Project to the BHEL with an estimate prepared by the engineers violating the rules. "We have documentary evidence that the JSEB engineers had prepared a project report according to which the total cost of renovation would have been around Rs 2.6 crore. The JSEB management turned down the project report and gave the work to BHEL which would cost the state exchequer around Rs 24 crore," Yadav said adding that the party smelt foul and demanded a probe by a high-powered committee. more at; http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/Probe-sought-into-JSEB-work-allotment-to-BHEL/articleshow/13717507.cms
