Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

December 7: The Kakadbhitta-Inaruwa railway section of the East-West Electric Railway, whose contract was canceled due to a dispute, has not been listed in the first quarterly report of the current Fiscal Year (FY) 2077/78.

The first quarterly progress report of the Railway Department does not mention any issue regarding this section. However, officials of the department have informed New Business Age that they are preparing to issue a tender for the disputed section again.

The department previously had canceled the contract on September 8, 2020 after receiving criticism that it was preparing to award the contract to a limited construction companies on June 29 and 30.

 However, the department has not even included this issue in its first quarterly report. Similarly, the expenditure and physical progress of the project has been weak in the first four months of the current fiscal year.

According to the report received from the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, the targeted budget, and the physical progress of the project have been found to be poor in the review period.

The department had set a target to spend Rs 3 billion 620 million for the project in the first four months out of which the project was able to spend only Rs 1.12 billion. The total budget of the department for this year is Rs 8.66 billion.
