The government order signed by the Shailendra Kumar, Commissioner Secretary to the government Industries and Commerce has asked the committee to complete and submit the probe to Industries and Commerce Department within a period of fifteen days.

Pertinently Early Times had reported how the JKCL incumbent Managing Director and its management, in violation of the rules, had allowed illegal revision of Rs 5 crore to a New Delhi-based company.
It was reported that the previous National Conference-Congress Government had decided to install a grinding-cum-packaging unit with a capacity of 300 tons per day at Industrial Growth Centre Samba.
The project of 300 tons grinding- cum- packaging plant in Samba was approved at a cost of Rs 26.80 crores, which was funded by State Government in the shape of equity.
The Government then decided to call tenders for installation of required machinery, and accordingly the rates of Delhi-based Company M/s Ashoka Gear were found to be lowest and hence it was allotted the project.
However the MD sought revision of Rs 5 crore in the total project from then MoS Industries and Commerce Sajad Ahmad Kichloo. Kichloo accepted the approval for making an upward revision in the total project.
The management of JKCL under MD Rakesh Sharma mooted a proposal with strong recommendations to allow an increase of Rs 5 crore to the contractor and in accordance with the approval the management headed by Sharma raised a loan from J&K Bank for Rs 5 crore.
The officials in the Industries and commerce department have said the claim is not genuine and it cannot be reimbursed as the contract was for fixed amount and there was no scope in the terms and condition of the notice and the agreement. |
