Oppn wants FIR, blacklisting of Gujarat firm

Newspoint
Nagpur: A seven-day delay in initiating action against the Gujarat-based contractor held responsible for a woman's electrocution in Auliya Nagar has drawn sharp criticism from the Opposition in the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC).

Leader of Opposition and local corporator Sanjay Mahakalkar alleged that the contractor was being shielded by NMC brass despite a departmental inquiry blaming it for the fatal lapse.

"The report is crystal clear. The contractor damaged the cable, failed to inform the authorities, and a woman lost her life. What more does the administration need before acting?" he told TOI.

Mahakalkar said he would raise the issue at the upcoming General Body meeting and demand blacklisting of M/s Das Infrastructure Pvt Ltd , forfeiture of all pending payments, registration of an FIR against those responsible, and suspension of Public Health Engineering (PHE) officials supervising the project.
