Bureaucrats Magazine -Lokayukta has started investigation against Principal Secretary Medical Education Alok Kumar and Special Secretary Medical Education Ram Yagya Mishra. He is accused of irregularities in allotting work to the Uttar Pradesh Small Industries Corporation Limited, Kanpur. It has been alleged that the Small Industries Corporation was allotted the work of setting up the Central Medical Gas Pipeline System in an under-construction medical college even after the government’s Finance Department did not nominate the executive body.
Bureaucrats Magazine –The Lokayukta has accepted the complaint filed in this regard by Monika Singh of Indiranagar for regular investigation. Secretary Lokayukta Anil Kumar Singh has asked Principal Secretary Medical Education Alok Kumar and Special Secretary Medical Education (the then MD of Small Industries Corporation) Ram Yagya Mishra to provide their explanation by September 6, while sending a photocopy of the complaint.
Bureaucrats Magazine –Monika Singh has made the then MD of Small Industries Corporation Ram Yagya Mishra an accused along with the principal secretary in the complaint. He has accused both the officers of misusing their official position to benefit an inexperienced company by fiddling with the prescribed technical specifications of a highly sensitive life support system for personal monetary gains. It has been said in the complaint that Alok Kumar is an experienced senior administrative officer. He is well aware that the Finance Department has never designated the Small Scale Industries Corporation as an executing agency. In spite of this, he had nominated Laghu Udyog Nigam as the executing agency with the intention of allotting the work to M/s Maxwell Technologies, Prayagraj at the Autonomous State Medical College, Shahjahanpur.
Bureaucrats Magazine –Apart from this, no action was taken against the Small Industries Corporation against the changes made in the tender in violation of the technical specifications laid down by the Medical Education Department. It has been alleged in the complaint that Ram Yagya Mishra, the then MD of Laghu Udyog Nigam, in connivance with the company, had already prepared a plan to allot the tender. This work was for the establishment of Medill Gas Pipeline System. The government has divided eight institutions into three categories and declared them as state construction agencies for such specific works. Along with this, their standardized and non-standardized cost limits have also been prescribed.
