Chandigarh MC Commissioner Orders Probe into Rs 227 Crore Pipeline Project Approval
Chandigarh Municipal Corporation Commissioner Amit Kumar has ordered a fact-finding probe into the Rs 227.70 crore pipeline replacement project after concerns arose over its hurried approval during the July 31 General House meeting. The agenda, passed without prior discussion and lacking expenditure details, drew criticism from councillors and the mayor, who requested its withdrawal for proper deliberation. Special Commissioner Harpreet Singh Sudan will examine records to ensure transparency, procedural compliance, and informed decision-making on this significant public expenditure.
