EXORBITANT FUNDS

Earlier the cost to update the floodlights to this venue was estimated at Rs. 50 million. Now the estimated sum has risen to Rs. 65 million! The sports body in charge of this project says that the additional sum of Rs. 15 million is to maintain the venue. This, however, does not come under the sports body’s purview. How can the extra millions be accounted?
NO TENDERS
This sport has requested two busses and several other vehicles in order to transport officials and players to various venues. The body in charge of accounts had flatly turned down the offer as no tenders had been called for this project.
GOING TO WASTE
