Chandigarh, June 1: With the important aspect of trail of money missing from the terms of reference of the Justice Narang Commission, it seems that the Congress government has set the course of investigation in mining row against Power Minister Rana Gurjit Singh even before it has started.
The panel will inquire whether the terms and conditions of the bid were adhered to, qua Saidpur Khurd and Mehadipur, while awarding the tender of these two mines to Amit Bahadur and Kulvinder Pal Singh; whether Minister Rana Gurjit Singh has in any manner influenced the price bid at which these two mines were awarded; whether the bidders were bidding on behalf of the minister; whether the minister received any undue financial benefit or gain from the award of the two mines; and whether there has been any loss to the state revenue by awarding the mines to these bidders at the given price.
However, there is no mention of probe into the financial transactions. The entire information about bidders is required to be put in public domain by the commission for ensuring transparency.
