Kolkata’s Rabindra Setu, popularly known as Howrah Bridge, is said to be getting illuminated with a dynamic architectural lights system. Commissioned in 1943, the bridge links the two cities of Howrah and Kolkata over Hooghly river. The buzz is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Kolkata on 17 October and inaugurate the fascinating show of dynamic coloured lights. The bridge is expected to now glow in the colours of the Tricolour. This coincides with Kolkata Port Trust’s 150th anniversary this month. The project is being carried out by the Central Public Works Department on behalf of the KPT.

An Indian subsidiary of a famous multinational company that has been given this work for Rs 13.81 is the same which over two years ago illuminated North and South Blocks and the Rashtrapati Bhavan with dynamic lights at a cost of Rs 16 crore. Many leading Indian LED lights manufacturing companies are upset for losing the contract once again in Kolkata. It is being claimed that they would have carried out this project between Rs 8-10 crores.

A Delhi-based Bengali gentleman, Aniket Chatterjee wrote a letter to PM Modi on 20 September alleging that top five Indian lighting companies were not considered by the CPWD in the pre-bid meeting on 17 September. A cartel of some CPWD officials and the “favoured” manufacturer has emerged, alleged Chatterjee, who in his letter has given his Kalu Sarai address and a landline number.

When this writer telephoned him, he said he would call back. After a short while, instead of him, another man called and said he was Chatterjee’s colleague and wanted to know from where I had got the letter. This writer refused to reveal the source. The caller refused to identify himself and Chatterjee. With some efforts we discovered that Chatterjee is an advocate.

Chatterjee in his letter has alleged that the tender’s estimated value is based on estimates called from three contractors of the same maker, instead of calling for estimates from reputed manufacturers of lighting/sound equipment, as is the requirement under the CVC guidelines.

It has been further alleged by him that all such tenders in the past estimation had been done from one manufacturer’s point of view only, due to which Rs 40 crores had been “siphoned off” by vested interests in the CPWD as the procurement rate for each light was “highly inflated”.

These facade lighting tenders, he says, are taken out in a pre-planned way, just one month before the event to show the urgency. The latest example is of a tender in July of Parliament House’s illumination issued by the CPWD, fixing 15 August as the deadline. A similar approach was adopted in subsequent tenders (Varanasi Ghats, Wagah border, etc.), as a result a few select contractors of the “favoured” manufacturers have gained, he has alleged.
