- The administration of the municipality came under suspicion again

- Logicalists handing over work worth more than half a crore directly to BJP office-bearer without tender process in Standing Committee meeting.

- Will it be possible to distribute one and a half lakh flags in five days? Such a probing question

JAMNAGAR: Tricolor is the pride of the country, it has to be respected, there are no two opinions, but the Jamnagar Municipal Corporation whose administration has always been in controversy. He handed over the work to a BJP office-bearer without tender process to distribute tricolors under the Har Ghar Tiranga scheme at a cost of Rs. An expenditure of Rs. lakhs has been sanctioned. Will these one and a half lakh flags be distributed? A lot of discussion has gained momentum about it.

In the meeting of the Standing Committee of Jamnagar Municipal Corporation, which was held yesterday on Friday, Rs. An expenditure of Rs 50,000 was sanctioned for purchasing the tricolor. It may not matter if the tricolor costs not lakhs but crores, but by the Municipal Corporation Rs. About one and a half lakh flags are going to be purchased at the cost of Rs 1 lakh, can they be distributed? Does the municipality have the power to manage distribution? Flags worth lakhs were bought last year as well. But according to the discussed details, the flag has not been distributed sufficiently. So what will happen this year? Such questions have been raised.

Also, despite the expenditure of such a huge amount, no tender process has been done by the municipality to purchase the flag. And more than half a crore has been entrusted directly to the BJP office bearer. The responsible officer says that this work has been assigned to the previous contractor this year as well from last year's price. That is, only the incumbent of the ruling party will lose half a crore. Flags of some rupees will be distributed among them. Only time will tell.

Apart from this, about 64 thousand flags will be given to the Metropolitan Municipality by Reliance. Thus, many discussions have arisen regarding this questionable administration of the municipality. However, due to the blessings of the municipal officials, office bearers, the flag of economic development of the contractor is constantly flying high.
