Dear Sir,

1. It may please be noted  the following information being shared with you is highly confidential and unofficial.  For my official version you can officially request my higher management (for permission) for my statement as ex-site in-charge   of PMC only and not as complainant. I am sharing these  information because I find higher official of BEL impose lot of unethical verbal instruction on juniors unethically which  is damaging for a PSU.
2. I was posted as site In-charge of MECON (PMC) and tried my best to act as whistleblower being a part of a project of national importance. I had issued innumerable mails and letter regarding quality issues of the project. But the engineer In-charge (AGM) and other higher officials (GM) from BEL desisted me verbally at Ghaziabad and at site not to follow quality procedures strictly on the pretext of progress of the project. They actually always blindly favoured the contractor anywhere and everywhere.  
3. However, when we did not allow any relaxation in this regard and made deduction in bills wherever quality procedures were not followed, higher officials of BEL at Ghaziabad were not satisfied with XXXXX site in-charge (both of BEL& MECON] for not favouring the contractor and for following  rule-book strictly. For that reason BEL GM&AGM transferred their own site incharge (Shri Ravi Kumar) and pressurized MECON to transfer Shri MK Haldar (Sr Mgr) of MECON in Sep 17 on the pretext that they did not perform satisfactorily, whereas actually it was just opposite. This was to instill a sense of fear so that other engineers fall in line.
4. BEL Vigilance took up the issue due to some complaint from other sources and Shri MM Roy {name not sure) of BEL Vigilance and team were to visit Salua site. BEL Ghaziabad became very Jittery on the news because I was the only engineer from BEUMECON at site who was there since inception of the project and was a whistleblower. They in connivance with the influential contractor again pressurized MECON management to remove me from site immediately and my transfer order was issued within 2 hrs on 15.03.18 with the release date of 19.03.13 so that I can be out of station before 23.03.18 after availing maximum 2 days joining leave.
5. Also it was intriguing and surprising, that the BEL vigilance team (all P5U employees with Police verification done) were not allowed at xxxx site by the Air force and this is first of such instance of refusal entry. Based on BEL site In-charge letter  (all record available) even officials of unknown/roadside private firms were always allowed on producing of any govt. issued identify card (all record available with BEL site In-charge)
6. For all the aforesaid letters and emails (documentary evidences) you can approach file kept at MECON site office. Also MECON reply to BEL [9 pages] after collapse of slopes may be referred for a wider view of the project.
7.  There is no direct evidence of corruption.

With Best Regards.

XXXXX
