Rahul Sharma of RACO claimed that the organisation had procured information under 151 RTI applications that pointed towards irregularities in the award of civil works contracts. A senior government official said that the allegations appear to be “very loose”. He said, “If there are specific instances of any irregularities they could be looked into. But this complaint has come late. If the road work was carried out more than a year ago, the quality of the road may have been affected by regular wear and tear.”
