New Delhi, Mar 18 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Tuesday took serious note of allegations that various public works contracts in Arunachal Pradesh were awarded to firms linked to Chief Minister Pema Khandu's family members.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna, Justice PV Sanjay Kumar, and Justice KV Viswanathan directed the Union Ministry of Finance and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs to submit a detailed report clarifying the allegations.
“We need a clear-cut answer on who the contracts were awarded to and the process followed. If tenders were not called, it must be explicitly stated. Both ministries must provide clarity on the matter,” the Bench observed.
