Thane, Aug 2 (UNI) Raj Thackeray-led MNS party on Sunday levelled serious corruption allegations against the Thane Municipal Corporation(TMC), citing instances of flouting norms while doling out contracts for medical gear and management of hospitals amid the COVID-19 crisis.
Addressing mediapersons here, senior MNS leader Abhijit Phanse averred that the TMC recently awarded the contract of managing a 1,024-bedded COVID hospital and seven other treatment facilities to a company floated nearly a month back.
Delineating the facets of the apparent "multi-crore fraud", he told, "Indian Medical Association Thane Chapter had offered to run the hospital but the TMC drove them away for unknown reasons."
