Huge loss of public money because of no fair competition in-stores procurement

Huge quantities of Lt/Ht Cables and other electrical items are procured in-store (via IREPS & Gem portal) of N.F.Railways from 50% to 100% above market price by keeping pocket heated by suppliers.

A limited type of tenders is floated in which no one can bid except for whom the favour is done.

For the last couple of years, ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS have been controlling the entire store by offering huge money to officers and supply cables and other items above 50% to 100% of the market price.

This is a huge loss of public money because of no fair competition is going on in-stores procurement of Northeast Frontier Railway.

If fair competition is done in Stores then huge public money can be saved and some suppliers and officers who are making money from all this, can be controlled from these corrupt activities.

Even for RITES/RDSO inspections, they get a waiver for quickly dealing with money which is also not good as the quality is also compromised.

Minister for Railways is requested to please investigate all these type of cases and take necessary action against all corruption going on in-stores procurement in the IREPS and Gem portal.

Previously also a huge scam came to light and CBI arrested some corrupt officials.
