The Uttar Pradesh government has given permission to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to carry out an audit of the Noida authority and Greater Noida authority.
The state government’s nod comes couple of months after it allowed CAG to audit Ghaziabad Development Authority.
During the previous Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party regimes, the government did not allow CAG to audit the Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway Authorities, despite reports of several irregularities. According to the experts, the CAG audit will unearth several scams worth hundreds of crores.
Principal Secretary Industrial development, Alok Sinha (IAS:1986:UP) has issued a letter in this regard.
