Congress seeks probe into TWS contracts

In a fresh twist to the controversy over the GMB taking the services of Aatash Norcontrol for installation of GPS equipment Tracking and Warning System (TWS) in 12,000 boats, the leader of opposition in the state assembly, Shaktisinh Gohil, has demanded a detailed inquiry into the matter.

Last week, DNA had reported how the security of Gujarat’s long coastline was going to be jeopardised with contracts for the TWS having been awarded to a “dubious” company.

Addressing the media on Wednesday, Gohil alleged that Gujarat government was nurturing corrupt practices and giving the sensitive project of protecting Gujarat’s international coastline with Pakistan to a company that had submitted forged documents.
