The Tamil Nadu government has said that it will conduct an inquiry into the construction of the new Assembly-cum-secretariat complex built by the previous DMK government at a cost of over Rs 1,100 crore.
This will be the first such inquiry to be initiated by the new government against the previous DMK dispensation.
Governor Surjit Singh Barnala in his speech to the 14th state Assembly session, which was read out by Speaker D Jayakumar, said “There were alleged reports that wasteful expenditure went into the construction of the new complex, poor construction which created quality issue and inordinate delay. To inquire these issues a retired High Court Judge will be appointed. It was further said that before the construction works were fully completed, the previous DMK government in a hurry shifted all the offices to the new premises.
