In a letter to Urban Development Minister, Kamal Nath, DMRC chief Mangu Singh has accused the R-Infra to allow the situation "worse to the point that services should be suspended. Any professional trader would not have allowed the situation to reach that level, "says Singh.
Singh, however, says absolutely nothing about the DMRC own culpability in this whole episode. The letter, sent as a "progress report every two weeks," is dated July 11, 2012. States that "the current situation has arisen due to the fact that there were defects in the setting of the bearings and the same was not detected by time dependence.

"As I brought to the notice of class, confidence, even before the issue of damage to the bearings, had represented the DMRC about the financial viability of the project and in fact had written to DMRC in this regard. It DMRC had said that either take control or restructuring of the entire project so that the financial burden on them is reduced. Meanwhile, they were able to find the subject of the bearings and suspended the services, "he says.

Therefore, the entire project was executed under the supervision of an international consultant, including rites," says Singh, adding: "The consultant deployed about 26 foreign experts from time to time and 50 full-time engineers rites. seems to be deficient in the supervision by the consultant. at the end of the investigation, appropriate action was initiated against the contractor and the consultant.
