Contractor Dharmnandan Construction Blacklisted After Fraudulent Billing

In addition to targeting the engineers, Panachariya asked the PIU to begin blacklisting Dharmnandan Construction, the Surat‑based contractor linked to the project. The contractor had been awarded the work for the underground tank, yet no excavation or concrete work was recorded. The minister emphasized that any private entity found complicit in misusing state resources would face strict punitive measures, including exclusion from future government contracts.
