CVC report on irregularities in CWG projects

Central Vigilance Commission has found serious deficiencies in five major projects carried out by the Common Wealth Games Organising Committee, OC.

In its latest report on irregularities in CWG projects, the Commission said that the Suresh Kalmadi-led OC had wrongfully moulded eligibility criteria in tenders to pave the way for certain private firms to help them make profit out of the projects worth 718 crore 33 lakh rupees.

The work included ticketing, accreditation card work, purchase of fitness equipment and overlays. The Commission has pointed out that an expenditure of over 27 crore rupees on work pertaining to creative designing of various products including signages, communications etc. was highly inflated.
