BeMC demands Rs 10.48 lakh, MKCG says owes nothing for waste collection
BERHAMPUR: The Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BeMC) and MKCG Medical College and Hospital are caught in a tussle over payment of bills for cleaning the health institution’s premises.
While the municipal body has rapped MKCG MCH for non-payment of Rs 10.48 lakh towards the cleaning services, the latter has claimed it owes nothing to the BeMC.
The BeMC commissioner, in a letter to the MKCG MCH superintendent, sought payment amounting Rs 10.48 lakh towards waste collection from the MCH premises. It cited a tripartite agreement among BeMC, MCH and a private agency engaged by the college signed in 2021 for cleaning of the MCH premises. The agreement was valid from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022. However, it has not been renewed nor a further pact signed.
