MMRDA Commissioner -SVR Srinivas protecting Bribery Tainted COO- Mono rail DLN Murthy- State Govt has recommended action- ICGS
The ICGS- will lead a delegation to Hon’ble CM of Maharashtra to highlight the reluctance of MMRDA Commissioner SVR Srinivas to take action against bribe tainted COO- Mono Rail- DLN Murthy. The ICGS will request CM Uddhav Thackeray to conduct inquiry on all decisions taken by Bribe tainted COO Mono Rail Mr Murthy including CCTV, Rockwell, APS Tender, RST tender. ACB- Anti Corruption Bureau has clearly mentioned “established fact of “demand of bribe” made”. Yet he signs important files.
Govt has given the permission for prosecution. In a letter addressed by Urban Development Ministry MMRDA/3321/893/7 addressed to MMRDA Commissioner and copy marked to Anti-Corruption Bureau says that COO- Mono Rail is a MMRDA contractual appointee. Principal Secretary UD-1 Bhushan Gagrani said, “that COO-Mono Rail is a contractual appointment by MMRDA and not State Govt appointed. So ACB can prosecute directly no Govt permission required. Yes Departmental action is necessary”
