Maharashtra News | ₹30 Crore Bungalow Scandal: Maharashtra PWD's Own Probe Flags Lavish Violations
A ₹30 crore controversy has exploded inside Maharashtra’s power corridors — and this time, the accusation is not from the Opposition or a leak. The Public Works Department’s own internal investigation has exposed massive violations in the renovation of ministerial bungalows in Mumbai. From granite cladding to inflated furniture bills, from contract-splitting to bypassing tender norms — the report reads like a case study in how public money should not be spent. And the most stunning part: there was no approval from the Chief Minister’s office — violating protocol that dates back to 1992. All this — while the state claims it doesn’t have funds to clear contractor dues or fully execute welfare schemes. As political pressure builds, Opposition voices are demanding audits, accountability — and answers — from a government already staring at a massive debt load.
