EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, Aug 28 (KNS): Tramboo Trading Company, a transport firm has alleged that Food Corporation of India authorities were harassing Kashmir based transport agencies after they declined to pay commissions.
The owner of Tramboo Trading Company, Haseeb Ahmad Tramboo told KNS that FCI authorities were trying to blacklist his company on baseless charges. “The FCI general manager R C Mina is taking undue advantage of his position to blacklist our firm. We are being demanded lakhs of rupees as bribe by some people on behalf of FCI authorities,” he alleged.
“We have 150 trucks and can provide hundreds more to FCI if required. However, Mina is trying to cancel our contract and give it to a Jammu based firm,” Tramboo alleged.
He said that FCI authorities keep trucks of his firm waiting for days without loading the supplies. “On one truck monthly expenditure is Rs 50000. But FCI authorities have kept our hundreds of trucks waiting for the last 20 days due to which we have incurred huge losses,” he added.
Tramboo said that his company had contract with the FCI for year 2010-2011 to provide trucks to Ladakh. “After the contract ended we wanted to get back our security deposit of Rs one crore from the FCI. However, the general manager demanded bribe of Rs 20 lakhs to release the security deposit,” Tramboo alleged.
He said the FCI authorities were giving preference to Jammu based firms as they were allegedly paying commission to them.
However, when contacted by the KNS, the general manager of the FCI denied the allegations.
“The firm hasn’t been able to show good performance due to which their contract has been cancelled. Now the firm has taken the matter to the court and we are waiting for the court decision,” he told KNS.
Defending the decision to withhold the security deposit of the firm, he said, “The deposits have been withheld for time being and can’t be released at this time.”
