C&D waste plant operator issued notice

Sunday, 19 September 2021 | PNS | Gurugram

Following an enquiry into the matter in which the construction and demolition (C&D) waste plant operator who had completely sublet its work to a third party, a notice has been issued by the civic body asking the company to explain why action should not be taken against it.

An official of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) said its inquiry officer had given a ‘fair opportunity to the concessionaire IL&FS to present its view.

“But it is a matter of regret that you failed to provide the necessary documents in the inquiry,” stated the notice issued by the MCG commissioner.

“During probe it found that the company gave the contract to a third party, completely flouting the contract norms. We have served the concessionaire a show-cause notice. They have sought 15 days to reply. Action will be taken as per the agreement with the concessionaire,” said the officer.

The report by inquiry officer Pradeep Ahlawat, MCG’s joint commissioner-1, said that the third party was also illegally charging people for C&D waste collection and transportation on behalf of the MCG. MCG said no written permission was sought from it, which is a violation of the agreement.

Based on the MCG’s report, the mayor had written to the commissioner to file a complaint against the concessionaire, recover the financial loss caused to the civic body and blacklist all companies involved in the alleged fraud.

The MCG had signed a 20-year agreement with the company for the disposal of debris in the city. It is written in the agreement that the company cannot sublet its work to any other agency, but despite this, the company has sublet the debris disposal work to any other agency which is completely against the agreement.

After the matter came to light, on July 30, Mayor Madhu Azad had ordered an inquiry.
