Dimapur, June 15 (MExN): The Nagaland Contractors' & Suppliers' Union (NCSU), on June 15, reiterated its demand for cancellation of work order issued without flooding Open Tender in various Governments Departments in the State. The Union time and again has been reminding all the departments to strictly follow Government orders issued on December 13, 1985; June 30 1986; and October 4 1995, NCSU General Secretary John Kath and Vice President Tseibou Khusoh stated in a press note.
However, it regretted that “most of the major contract and supply works are being awarded to non-locals by depriving local contractors through table tender undermining the Government Standing Order.”
NCSU, in this regard, asked all the departments to strictly adhere and implement the standing orders and award contract and supply works to only NCSU Identity Card holders in order to avoid confrontation. Direct violation of such orders, NSCU reminded “will be dealt with legal action against the erring officials.”
All contract & supply works should be done through Open Tender and it should be awarded to only NCSU Identity Card holders,it added. The Union also informed all its district units to deploy its Action Committee to “check all ongoing or fresh contract & supply works” in their respective district and intimate the Head Office of its evaluation report for further necessary action.
