A section of transporters operating in Delhi have asked chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to investigate the work done by DIMTS, which operates projects including the controversial Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor.
These transport companies are of the view that the new government should take a re-look at the projects awarded to DIMTS (Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System), an equal equity joint venture of NCT government and IDFC Foundation.
‘We have requested the Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to take immediate steps in this regard and order a probe by CBI or an appropriate investigating agency to conduct a thorough investigation and to ensure further that such actions of DIMTS are dealt appropriately,’ they said.
DIMTS is not doing projects on their own, they are ‘sub-letting’ it to the contractors, giving work ‘without any proper price quotation’, an official of one of the transport companies said here.
Reacting to the allegations, a DIMTS spokesperson told PTI: ‘Certain functions of some our projects have been outsourced like any other organisation or the government. We do it after all the due diligence and at the same time we are supervising all the aspects of the projects.’
The BRT corridor project in South Delhi has faced flak since its inception. In a report last year, the Central Road Research Institute favoured dismantling it.
