Brutal Surat Municipal Council puts City on high risk for personal gains
Criminologist Snehil Dhall alleged Surat Municipal Council (SMC) as murderers for all the accident observed due to BRTS Route gates tender not being implemented since a year.
Mumbai: The so called image of Surat Municipal Council is no longer to be trusted as they continue to be one of the most organized in committing crimes as evaluated by Criminologist Snehil Dhall. A tender was sanction for Supply, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance of Automated Swing Gates in BRT Lane at Bus Stations at Different Bus Stations of BRTS Phase 1 in Surat City under the reference of Tender Notice No. CE/BRTS/09/2015-16 with Standing Committee Resolution No. 2251/2015, dated 28/08/2015 but the same has not been implemented. The gates could have stopped all the traffic which are still of a big concern for the Traffic Police but the SMC has still not provided the Request Order for allocating the job for which the work order has already been approved. The level of corruption from SMC is just increasing by the year while they try to hide all the details from the public and floating tenders for the bus stations which are not ready, whereas, the existing tenders are not allowed for implementation. The current tenders of BRTS sliding doors have already been manipulated more than five times and yet the criteria’s attached to it are highly suspicious since the tenders are not channelled in the usual legitimate manner. The scenario of tenders are clearly evident of major corruption due to which many corporate companies are getting harassed although it is not clear if the act is racist or not since most of the applicant are not locals.
As per Dhall the Tender Criteria’s have been changed to accommodate unworthy and incapable applications for BRTS door-sliding contract. The situation of changes in Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) door-sliding contract has become major concern with a tender being floated four times to accommodate unworthy and incapable applications and at fifth occasion the same was dissolved to divide the tender in two parts. Previously the tender timings were extended repeatedly in which at one occasion the tender hardcopies was accepted even after due dates, whereas, at other occasions the eligibility was compromised. The prequalification of the product required by the tender was compromised for suppliers not being the vendors for the same products, i.e. diluting the supplier product range not matching the actual requirement of the tender being floated for. “I was extremely impressed with the Power Point Presentation of Surat Policing Arrangements being educated to me in one of the events in New Delhi but now I have great fear for the safety measures if such random manipulations are carried by other departments of the city. Incapable applicants invites more security lapses and can create major defaults in public safety.” says Criminologist Snehil Dhall.
It is nothing to do with the way Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) is formulating the product requirements for the work, but it’s about SMC changing the eligibility for potential candidates. The perfection of the city was maintained due to strict application scrutiny, whereas, the same has been drained down with the number of changes and manipulations done for just one tender. Dhall confirmed that he has received the details from reliable sources and the same can be observed through all the information of tenders made public by SMC. He has filed few RTI’s to get the answers for specific questions to carry his research on Organized Crime in Surat. As per Dhall’s understanding of BRTS Strategic coordination, the system in place can be centrally monitored and during any terror emergency on buses, all station doors can be centrally closed if any bus is under suspicion of ongoing evaluation conducted by Bomb Squad or other security agencies.
Current Tender Details:
The tender includes supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of automated sliding doors, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Readers and RF Controllers for different Bus Station of BRTS Phase II and RF Switches and RFID tags for buses for bus rapid transit system phase II-E in Surat City. These RFID Readers are working on a frequency that allows the bus and station doors to open together. The products are used since day one of BRTS Project and the current tender is just an expansion of new bus stations. The objectives are to prevent accidents of commuters and increase the quality as per international standards.
