New Delhi. A PIL seeking a CBI probe into the award of contracts worth Rs 14,000 crore relating to setting up of a major greenfield integrated steel plant in Chhattisgarh has been filed in Delhi High Court, alleging irregularities by top officials of a navaratna PSU. The petition by an NGO has sought a probe into the award of the contracts by the National Mineral Development Corporation Ltd (NMDC) for an integrated steel project with an estimated capacity of three million tonne per annum, alleging irregularities by its top officials.
The NGO, Centre for RTI, has alleged in its plea that the contract for inter-plant pipeline gas mixing and boosting station at Nagarnar near Jagdalpur in Chhattisgarh, worth Rs 148 crore, was awarded to NICCO Corporation despite it being ineligible.
