PWD contractors split over 'name and shame' corrupt officials


Chennai:

The move by office-bearers Tamil Nadu Public Works Department (PWD)
Contractors (Engineering) Association to name top 10 corrupt PWD
engineers during 2014-15 has sparked a row with a section of members
of the association opposing it.



A statement signed by a section of the members of the association
stated that the decision by the office-bearers of the association was
done without the concurrence of all the members.



“This was done without taking proper approval from all the 130 members
of the association,” said the statement.



G Ekambaram, proprietor of Preethi Constructions, who signed the
document along with other members opposing Association’s move to name
the allegedly corrupt officials of PWD, gave a clean chit to the
officials.



He along with other members said that they have been in the
association for a long time and PWD officials never asked for money or
abused them.



He said a section of people are spreading rumours about the officials.
“The allegations are due to vested interest of some office-bearers,”
he said.



The statement came nearly five days after Tamil Nadu PWD Contractors
(Engineering) Association erected a huge flex hoarding near the PWD
office at Chepauk, warning that top 10 corrupt PWD engineers during
2014-15 would be named in such advertisements.



The office-bearers of the association could not be reached for their comments.
