Senior official charges NHAI with corruption in its corridors

Seeking protection under the Whistleblowers Resolution, a deputy general manager with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has levelled serious allegations against the authoritys vigilance wing of implicating officers in false cases who do not fall in line with its wish and requirements.The officer has also pleaded that the authority should not initiate any punitive action against him until his allegations are properly investigated by an independent agency. Citing his own case, the DGM (finance) Rajesh Gupta has written to the NHAI chairman and other senior officials besides CVC that authorities of vigilance wing falsely implicated him in a forged bank guarantee case of a private contractor. The contractor had furnished bogus bank guarantee of Rs 90 crore for getting work award of improvement of two stretches of NH-1 in Delhi and Haryana. Gupta has now written to the NHAI chief vigilance officer (CVO) to have a public debate within the National Highways Authority of India on this issue. Such an open challenge is unheard of in any government departments where a junior officers has challenged his senior that too of the vigilance division. The CVC must investigate whether the wing that was created to put check on corruption within the organisation is becoming vindictive and whether it has some role in generating anonymous complaints and allegations against certain employees, said a senior NHAI official, who did not wish to be named. NHAI sources said that last January, a retired defence officer with gallantry award managing a toll plaza in Agra had also written to the NHAI chairman levelling serious allegation against the deep rooted corruption within the vigilance wing. The officer had volunteered to depose off before the highest authority to explain how he was conveyed certain requirements for gratification to get extension of operating a toll plaza at Semra Atikabad in Agra. As a conscious officer, I opted to bow out instead of taking extension through dubious means. if an inquiry by an independent officer is ordered to look into my allegations, I am willing to cooperate and provide necessary inputs, the officer had written.
