According to sources in the MCC, one of the private agencies belongs to a close relative of a city MLA. Mr. Shetty said that of the two agencies, one has been permitted to build 15 bus shelters, and the other three. He said if the corporation builds the bus shelters by itself, it could earn the advertisement revenue and use the money for development works. Commissioner Mohammed Nazir agreed with Mr. Shetty and said that according to the rules, the civic body cannot allow any agencies to build shelters without holding a bidding contest first. The corporation should not go ahead with the proposal merely based on the standing committee’s decision, he said.
