New Delhi: CBI has registered Preliminary Enquiries against serving and retired executive engineers of the MCD for their alleged failure in checking unauthorized constructions in the national capital.
The 13 PEs named executive engineers, both serving and retired and other "unknown persons" and charged them of failing in their supervisory role to check unauthorized construction in the area of their operation, CBI sources said.
The period selected by the CBI for investigation was the last four years, which could be modified and extended if required, the sources said.
The role of the MCD Councillors during that period would also be probed by the CBI in its investigations, the sources said.
The CBI would also seek the vigilance report from the MCD on the basis of which the corporation had dismissed some junior, assistant, executive and superintendent engineers, they said.
The Delhi High Court on April 20 had passed an order asking the CBI Director to constitute a Special Task Force headed by an officer not below the rank of a Joint Director to carry out the task and submit its report within a month.
The directions came from the Bench in the wake of widespread criticism that many of the officials responsible for the unbridled growth of illegal and unauthorized structures continued to be in service.
