SHILLONG: Pankaj Jain, Resident Commissioner of the Meghalaya House, Delhi has denied that they have awarded the contract for operating of the canteen in the Meghalaya House.

It was reported that the contract for operating the canteen at the Delhi Meghalaya House has already been awarded to a person who is in charge of the security at the Meghalaya House. Sources also informed that the contract work has been allotted to one RS Caterer.

While denying the report, Jain said, “At the moment we are carrying out the technical evaluation of the tender. The fact of the matter is that unless the bid applications are opened we cannot award the contract for operating the canteen,” Jain said while speaking to The Shillong Times on Thursday.
