Mumbai civic body awards Rs 14-crore trash barrier deal to firm disqualified earlier over desilting case
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) awarded a Rs 14-crore contract to dispose of trash booms to a firm it had previously disqualified twice due to a desilting case. Virgo Specialities Pvt Ltd, the company awarded the contract, was cleared by the BMC following a legal opinion after an FIR was filed against its then director, Jay Joshi, in the Mithi river de-silting case.
Joshi has since stepped down from his role in the company. The contract, issued on March 10, sought an agency to operate and maintain trash boom systems at six locations in the western suburbs.
