Arappor has alleged tender fixing involving Rs 45 lakh within the Tambaram Corporation under the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department. The organization has demanded action against Commissioner Balachander IAS and other officials regarding these contracts.
The allegations center on two specific projects: the installation of an Ashoka Pillar statue and landscaping at the Perungalathur Bridge Roundana, valued at Rs 27,30,000, and the installation of a 'Save Water' concept statue and beautification works at the Chitlapakkam Roundana, valued at Rs 18,60,000. Official documents indicate that both tenders were published on August 6, 2026, with a bid opening date of August 24, 2026.
