Concerns Regarding Pending Contracts, Billing, and Tendering Practices

The contracts for 2022 and 2023 remain open despite the completion of work. The #SSE concerns is currently bargaining over the final bills, causing unnecessary delays. This problem is continues in all most every Zone and Division in Indian Railways.

For example—In #NCR, Materials supplied in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have been issued for installation, yet bills for 20% of these supplies remain unprepared. Ongoing negotiations are further delaying finalization.

Consequently, frequent #DOC submissions are required, resulting in increased paperwork and prolonged #bargaining, which negatively impacts overall efficiency.

It is unclear why #Phase-2 #tenders are being invited while Phase-1 tenders remain unresolved. This raises concerns that the process may be deliberately prolonged for monetary gain.

Inviting works for Station like #Prayagraj and #Kanpur while the new buildings are still under #Construction raises questions about planning and procedural justification.

It is obvious that any work executed on the old #station or #platform is likely to be demolished within a few months, rendering such efforts inefficient and wasteful.

In #GatiShakti, SSEs of the #Electrical General Department are not handing over completed work. Meanwhile, one side where GM orders to remove ACs from junior officers’ chambers and another side funds appear to be spent on decorative items to appease senior officers, and significant #variations are being sanctioned in ongoing #contracts, raising concerns about financial prudence and procedural transparency.
