He has demanded a high-level inquiry by an impartial agency into the whole matter.

The Mayor, in a letter to the Chief Minister, said that no criteria were adopted for outdoor advertising on 26 Unipoles in Jalandhar city. Neither e-tender was floated for out door advertisement nor any advertisement for e-auction was given. No approval was taken from the house for awarding the contract. The officers of the corporation cut only one slip and one of their contractors was given the contract of outdoor advertising by hanging all the rules and regulations on the sneeze.

Mayor Jagdish Raja and his letter to the Chief Minister

He has written in the letter that it is completely illegal and completely illegitimate. It smells of some big scam. The Mayor has demanded from the Chief Minister that a high level inquiry should be conducted into the whole matter. Strictest action should be taken against whoever is in connivance with the officers and employees of the Municipal Corporation.

Let us inform that the municipal authorities bypassing the out door advertisement policy of the Punjab government, without any tender, gave the contract of 26 Unipoles to a new company in Jalandhar. After the end of the advertising contract in March this year, the old company was given a new contract by increasing the tender by 10 percent, but now the new company was given the contract by increasing the rate silently. It is learned that the contract has been given to the new company for five years for five crores, while many companies were ready to pay more than this.
