Kolkata, Nov 25: The leader of opposition in West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, shot a letter to the director of Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday seeking a central agency probe into the alleged irregularities in the purchase of PPE kits and other medical equipment during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
In the letter, a copy of which is available with IANS, Adhikari alleged that a huge financial scam was executed in West Bengal during the pandemic period with regard to purchase of PPE kits and other medical equipment by the state Health Department.
According to Adhikari, huge funds were provided by the Union government at that time to bolster the efforts for fighting the pandemic collectively. However, considering the urgency of the situation, no stringent measures were placed which could have delayed the procurement process and the Centre allowed all the state governments to act swiftly in good faith, he said.
