Contracts for irrigation projects that have been abandoned for years and left ailing due to non-performance have begun to be terminated.
The Babai Irrigation Project has issued a public notice on Thursday to terminate the contract agreement signed with Aman Construction Company Gularia about 6 years ago.
The project had entered into a contract agreement with the company in the fiscal year 2077/78 to carry out canal maintenance, command area protection, building maintenance, and other works. Of the six contracts, four have zero construction progress. One has 30 percent and the other has 55 percent progress.
Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Physical Infrastructure and Transport and Urban Development Kulman Ghising has directed subordinate bodies to terminate sick contracts to end the trend of taking contracts but not working and leaving projects stranded.
The project has stated that despite publishing notices repeatedly, it has not started the work as per the agreement and has not given any indication of completing the work even after the contract period expires. A notice has been issued to the concerned official to appear at the project office with evidence within 15 days if there is any concrete reason to terminate the contract agreement and proceed with the process of action.
If the evidence submitted is not legally reliable or satisfactory, the process of confiscating the performance security and deposit and blacklisting the amount deposited as per the provisions of the contract and public procurement law will proceed.
Under the Irrigation Department, contracts for 25 projects, including the national pride Bheri Babai and Sunkoshi Marine Multipurpose, are in default. Out of these, the process of terminating the contracts of 6 projects has been moved forward.
