There is a possibility of a big scam regarding the garbage ramidation in Khanna, Punjab. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has ordered an inquiry into the matter. The responsibility of investigation has been given to the commissioner of Municipal Corporation Ludhiana.

A tender of Rs 3 crore 83 lakh was given to a Delhi company for cleaning the dump of garbage of the city council near village Rasulda. Public Service Club President PD Bansal has pointed to serious irregularities in the case.
City council changed the quantity of garbage repeatedly
The biggest discrepancy in the case has been revealed about the amount of garbage. The city council described the quantity of garbage at different times as 90 thousand metric tons, then 1 lakh 47 thousand tons and later 1 lakh 28 thousand metric tons. The company claims that it has cleaned 90 thousand metric tons of garbage as per the tender.
President of Public Service Club raised questions
Bansal alleges that the tender was given to a favorite contractor. He raised the question that if the garbage on the dump was more than 90 thousand metric tons, then why did the city council not conduct the correct survey earlier. Also, why the proposal for remlision was brought by conducting a survey from a private company without government approval.

Complaint given to EO
Aam Aadmi Party councilors have also complained to the EO in this matter. He has demanded to stop the company’s outstanding payment. Experts believe that two-three and similar tenders may have to be installed to completely clean the dump.
Lime of crores to the government
The third aspect of the investigation is that the city council is now claiming to be only 28 thousand metric tons of garbage dump. 90 thousand metric tonnes of garbage is being claimed. Why are there so many stars on the dump. It was suspected that the government had lost crores of rupees in this.
