PMC (Pune Municipal Corporation) has discovered a big scam by a security company. The company was cheating by showing fake workers in Mumbai while claiming money from PMC. This has raised many questions about how PMC checks and gives work to security companies.
First, PMC tried to get back the money from the company. But strangely, they gave more work to the same company, which then cheated again. PMC fined them Rs 60 lakh, but didn’t file any police case against them. Many people are angry about this soft action.
Every year, PMC hires 1,565 security guards through contracts. People are saying that some politicians are helping bad companies get these contracts. Even after cheating, this company got a three-year contract, which makes everyone wonder if PMC is checking companies properly.
People in Pune have started protesting against this. They want PMC to ban this company forever and file police cases against the people who did this fraud. Everyone is worried about how PMC is using public money.
Because this fraud happened twice, many people are asking PMC to change how they hire security companies. Experts say PMC should check companies better, have outside people look at their work, and keep a close watch on how they work.
This case shows that PMC needs to be more careful about giving contracts to companies. They need to make stricter rules and better ways to check if companies are honest. This will help protect public money and make sure everything works properly.
The latest local news from Pune continues to follow this developing scandal as citizens demand stronger accountability measures.
