"PWD was a hub of large scale corruption due to nexus between corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and contractors", he said adding steps have been taken to break this nexus.
Sudhakaran said after the LDF government came to power in May last, for transfers and postings, strict guidelines have been followed.
"Money to a tune of Rs 200 crores used to exchange hands for transfer and postings during earlier years", he said.
Another major step taken by the LDF government was the decision to take back the rest and guest houses of PWD given on lease to private parties by the UDF government, he said.
