In its letter, the prime minister's office has asked for probe by the agencies specifically in works carried out by event knowledge services (EKS), an international private consultant, and other irregularities pointed out by the Shunglu committee.
Taking a serious view of Shunglu committee findings, the prime minister's office has suggested to sports ministry a probe by CBI and Enforcement Directorate based on the panel's report into alleged irregularities in the contracts executed by C'Wealth Games organising committee.
In its letter, the prime minister's office has asked for probe by the agencies specifically in works carried out by event knowledge services (EKS), an international private consultant, and other irregularities pointed out by the Shunglu committee.
EKS was given three contracts of over Rs70 crore by the organising committee to extend consultancy services for the venue development and management, games workforce, and games planning and project management services.
The prime minister's office has directed "expeditious action" on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's order in the matter and sought the reply of sports ministry within a month on the fifth report of the high-level committee appointed by him.
The financial loss suffered by the government due to favouritism for workforce contract aggregated to Rs18.36 crore, the report said.
"Department of sports may forward, to the CBI/ED, for action as appropriate, relevant extracts of the report pertaining to the matter of EKS, and the clear cases of forgery, falsification, record creation etc., mentioned in case of other highlighted irregularities," the letter written to the sports ministry said.
The prime minister had on October 25 last year appointed the high-level committee under the chairmanship of former comptroller and auditor general VK Shunglu to investigate and report all irregularities in executing various projects by several government agencies during the Games held here between October 3-14 last year.
