The documents reveal that Panchkula Municipal Corporation issued multiple work orders inviting bids for revamping the roundabouts. However, all the work orders went in favour of Shakumbari Engineering Works. Advertising Sandeep Sharma, the contractor who is carrying out the revamping work on behalf of Shakumbari, refused to divulge any details about the work. He even refused to divulge details about his company. On the other hand, Panchkula’s former Mayor Upinder Ahluwalia has questioned the project. “There has surely been a procedural lapse in it (revamping of the roundabouts). Moreover, if such a major project was to be carried out why it wasn’t brought to the General House? Why has it been executed after our term ended,” Panchkula’s former Mayor Ahluwalia told Chandigarh Newsline. She added, “I have learnt that the same company (Shakumbari Enterprises) is also doing other projects for the Panchkula Municipal Corporation.” Thakur Lal, Superintending Engineer of Panchkula Municipal Corporation, said denied having much information about the revamping of the roundabouts. “I have joined recently”. Municipal Commissioner Rajesh Jogpal too did not respond to the queries sent by Chandigarh Newsline.
