Rajkot Municipal Corporation Reviews Rs 27 Lakh Food Bill Amid Demolition Drive Probe
The Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) has rejected a Rs 27.2 lakh food bill related to the February Jangleshwar demolition drive, citing lack of tender processes. The standing committee placed all tenders issued since 2023 under review amid allegations of financial irregularities involving nearly Rs 3 crore. The food expenses included tea, lunch plates, sweets, and mineral water for officials and media. A special investigation team will probe the claims, while officials cited urgency and cost concerns for bypassing tender procedures.
