Patiala, October 22

The Public Accountants Committee (PAC) is miffed with the Labour Department for not complying with the observations of the Comptroller Auditor General of India (CAG) report submitted to the Vidhan Sabha last year.

The report had highlighted financial irregularities of over Rs 80 crore in the audit of seven of the 23 circles of the Building And Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Welfare Board from 2013-18. The PAC had held a meeting with the Labour Department last month, wherein it had taken a serious view of the department not complying with the observations in the audit. The PAC had also advised the department to submit a revised reply because it was not satisfied with the earlier response of the department. — TNS
