GSU claims that an amount of Two Crore was also sanctioned for the same Litemori to Taramori road under RE in the year 2015-16. But the implementing department illegally awarded the work without floating any tender (NIT) and bill for the same was also disbursed the very next day violating the laid down norms and conditions, it added.

The GSU also accused the Executive Engineer, PWD Gensi Division for illegally drawing a self cheque vide cheque no.0133775 for an amount of Rs. 1, 99, 14, 995  and questioned that whether any officer is authorized to issue a self cheque in his/her own name,  while demanding the CS to inquire into the illegal transaction made by the EE.
