In response to RTI application vide No 18144-46, the Executive Engineer PWD (R&B) Construction Division No 1, Jammu has said that "all the works for which the payment has been made by this department are either technically approved or have been allotted after calling tender under rule and no payment has been released by the department for works which are not technically approved or are being executed without calling tenders."
The statement came in response to RTI plea which questioned works undertaken along with construction expenses of every works in Gandhi Nagar constituency doled out without approval and without calling tender and payments released during the year 2011-12. However, after getting a 13 leaf reply from the Executive Engineer PWD in which 191 construction works were completed, a coterie of RTI activists who are going to file a PIL alleging that the officer did not mention the names of newspapers in which tender works were got published.
