Discrimination with Local contractors by Kashmir Based Engineers and JK Waqf Board Administration Pirpunjal Contractors Association Alleged.
Rajouri August :–On friday Chairperson and MoS JK Waqf Board inaugurated two newly constructed guest houses, one in the name of Hazrat Fatima-tu-Zehra (AS) & another in the name of Baba Ghulaam Shah Badshah (RA), at Shahdara Sharief Rajouri Executed by the said department without calling any tender.
It is important to mention here that both work has been executed by Waqf Board unit Rajouri without calling any tender this is the big violation of norms and rules of government order 2019 by then Hon’ble Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.
At present number of Construction work take up by Waqf board unit Shahdra/Rajouri without calling any single tender with the direction and Approval of MOS Chairperson Waqf board Jammu Kashmir with the help of executive engineer Waqf Board J&K Er Tariq Kallu and this all done after the charge of Executive Engineer handed over to Waqf board unit Kashmir by Chairperson.
Interestingly the two tenders were alloted to the contractors through Tendering process through Tenders one work has stopped by the board in midway and balance work take up departmently through a blue eyed person of Waqf board it is deadly against the law and norms.
When a Contractor approach to Chairperson person regarding the alloted contract which was stop by the Administrator due to landslides issue and also written to the chief Executive officer vide Number JKWB-UR- 12/2023 for change the location she said we are not bond of any law and rules we will do any thing and we will call a tender or cancel any tender Waqf has separate law she added.

we can do any thing and we will call a tender or cancel any tender Waqf has separate law.
This attitude of the Chairperson with the contractors is put question on government transparency over and good governance ..
It is pertinent to mention here that
the tenders were alloted to the contractors under rules but there is no space before the Chairperson, Engineer and Administrator and the said department
the tender has been alloted to the contractors under rules but has no space in front of Chairperson, Engineand only beacuse the said department busy in execution of departmental works without calling any tender without following any rules this is the violation of all norms and rules which made for others department not implemented on Waqf board. All claims of transparency of BJP led/NDA government in Construction line are totally false and baseless President contractors Association said.
Meanwhile Mohd Ishtiaq general secretary of contractors Association said crore of rupees material purchased by Waqf board Shahdra Rajouri from the market as Tiles,Marbles, Doors,Windows,Air
conditions inverters battery etc without following any rules of Tenders or Quotation etc it shows there is big nexus and the matter of Investigation.
It is requested to Director vigilance and ADGP Crime Jammu Kashmir and CBI to to investigate the whole matter of misappropriation of public funds and also check on mismanagement of Waqf Board which cross all the limit of corruption and this is totally unconstitutional and undemocratic.
Last but not least Waqf board Shahdra Sharif Rajouri become a hub of politics and Waqf money also spent on particular political parties it all done with the direction of Chairperson Waqf board J&K if any one have the tag of one particular party that you have done otherwise there is non of space for others.
