The All-India Football Federation has formed a three-member committee, headed by former judge Justice L Nageswara Rao, to oversee the entire tender process for selecting its new commercial partner, as per a directive from the Supreme Court.
The applicant allegedly indulged in a conspiracy with the officers of the Noida Development Authority funnelled several crores of rupees from the public fund released for the construction of a cricket stadium with a pavilion building at Integrated sports complex at Noida.
In an unusual order, the central information commission has agreed that minutes of tender committee meetings should "ideally" be made public, but left it to the government department concerned to take a call on it.
In a major initiative to bring transparency and speed up decisions on tenders, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has dissociated himself from the process and empowered zonal railways and heads of production units to finalise them.
