Mangalore, April 27: Lokayutka officials on Monday interrogated Syed Ilias Pasha, Superintending Engineer, Karnataka Urban Development and Coastal Environment Management Project (KUDCEMP), based on a complaint filed by Dayananda of Konchady, according to a senior Lokayukta official.

 

 

 

The official told The Hindu that Satish, who was earlier an assistant executive engineer with the KUDCEMP, was also questioned.

The complainant had alleged that the KUDCEMP officials had not carried out works at the scientific sanitary landfill site at Vamanjoor dumping yard as per specifications. The drinking water pipeline between Thumbe and Padil was of inferior quality and the work carried out there did not conform to specifications either. According to the complainant, officials had prepared the bills for both the works exactly as per specifications.

The complainant’s main grouse was that while the bills had been prepared as per the specifications, the works carried out were not according to it, the official said.

He said that a preliminary report on the inquiry would be sent to the Lokayukta’s head office in Bangalore.

The Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) has implemented those works for the Mangalore City Corporation under the KUDCEMP, the sources said.
