Former chief seceretary of Tripura Yashpal Sharma named in PWD scam

Op India  

A special court in West Tripura has yesterday issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Yashpal Singh, former State Chief Secretary on Thursday in the multi-crore rupees PWD scam. On Monday night, CPI central committee member Badal Choudhury was arrested for his alleged involvement in the Rs 630 crore scam that allegedly occurred during his tenure as PWD Minister. Law and Education Minister in the state, Ratan Lal Nath, has claimed that the PWD under the previous Left Front government in 2008-09 clubbed 13 projects, five bridges, five buildings and three road projects, and implemented them at a cost of Rs 638 crore on a cost-plus basis. Meanwhile, on Thursday, lawyers representing Badal Choudhury sought an ‘urgent hearing’ for bail considering his ‘fragile health’ but the Court declined their request and fixed October 30 as the next date of the hearing.
