Terming it a “broad daylight robbery” and complete disregard for the quality of works and practical ground reality, the HAC chairman alleged that most of the works in the hill districts are compromised because of such unscrupulous nexus between officials and contractors in the name of fulfilling technical norms or guidelines.
