Accused of allowing huge cost overruns in award of work for revamping the water transmission and distribution system in the Capital’s Nangloi area on a public-private partnership basis, the Delhi Jal Board on Thursday vehemently denied the charges and said comparisons could not be drawn between the Nangloi project and other similar works.
A non-government organisation, Citizens’ Front for Water Democracy, had accused the DJB recently of allowing work to be carried out on inflated rates and comparing the Nangloi project with a similar one in Patna, saying the cost difference between the two was a whopping Rs. 1,000 crore.
