NYWA (Nyishi Youth Welfare Association) serves ultimatum to Government

OUR CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: The NYWA (Nyishi Youth Welfare Association) has served a 15-day ultimatum to the State government to take appropriate action on its three-point grievances.

It has demanded immediate floating of a NIT (Notice Inviting Tender) under the GeM portal for the procurement of hospital equipment for 10 district hospitals (Tawang, Bomdila, Ziro, Aalo, Tezu, Namsai, Changlang, Khonsa, Seppa and Yingkiong), for which, it said, the Government of India has reportedly sanctioned Rs 51,68,00,061 on May 28 last year.

"Any procurement above Rs 10 lakhs has to be mandatory through the tender process in the GeM portal. The State government deliberately did not comply with the GeM Act-2019," it alleged.

The association also sought immediate modification of the 'Arunachal Pradesh District-based Enterprises & Professional (Incentive Development and Professionals) Entrepreneurship Act-2015, "particularly of Section 4, Clause (i) to (vi), of the classified categories of tender participation (block/community level, Assembly Constituency level and district level) by giving equal opportunity to every individual of any amount of contractual works for open competition without discriminating of domicile."
