Mysuru: The more than a century-old Vani Vilas Water Works (VVWW) is in the news for all the wrong reasons. A whopping Rs. 3.42 crore, allegedly paid to a contractor, violating rules, to repair faulty leaking pipes in Mysuru city, has come to light. The irony, it is alleged, is that this huge amount has been paid without the works being done.
There are complaints that between August 2012 and October 2015 a sum of Rs. 3,42,50,648 has been paid to a contractor. This amount was paid to the contractor to repair the leaking pipelines, supplying water to the layouts adjacent to Ring Road and other MUDA layouts.
