Big Disclosure: “Bed Sheet Scam” Rocks SC Railway – A Daylight Loot of Public Exchequer

Admin

In a shocking revelation, South Central Railway (#SCR) is caught at the center of what appears to be a massive procurement-scandal involving bed sheets.

The Numbers Don’t Lie:

  • On 03.02.2023, SCR placed a bulk order for bed sheets at ₹377/- per piece.
  • Just 3 days later, on 06.02.2023, South Eastern Railway (#SER) placed an order for the “same item” at ₹244/- — a staggering 35.27% lower.
  • And, only a few weeks later, on 22.03.2023, East Coast Railway (#ECoR) secured the very same bed sheets at ₹141.75/- — meaning SCR paid an eye-watering 63.5% higher rate.

This is not a one-off aberration. A comparative study of orders placed across all #ZonalRailways shows SCR consistently paying exorbitantly inflated prices.
