According to facts, REEL and its Managing Director had disclosed a subcontractor in 2014 when bidding for the contract of solid waste dumpsite at Ukkayyapalli in Andhra Pradesh, the World Bank said. “REEL also failed to get an approval of the contract and in 2017 faked the presence of this subcontracting contract to the World Bank. This conduct is a practice under the World Bank’s Procurement Guidelines,” it added.
