Page 4: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

Respected Sir/s,

We the undersigned persons beg to draw your kind attention about

the following facts: -

• That after expiry of 5 (five) years the Board of Councilor of Asansol Municipal

Corporation has been dissolved on 17th day of July 2014 and thereafter vide

notification No. 318/MA/O/C-4/1M-1/2001 dated, Kolkata, the 14th day of July

2014 the Governor of West Bengal appointed Additional District Magistrate,

Asansol with affect from 17th July of 2014 from which the terms of existence of

councilors shall dissolve.

• That recently by another notification dated 29th Sep. 2014 the Governor has

appointed Sri Tapas Banerjee, Hon’ble Member, West Bengal Legislative

Assembly as a member of Board of Administrators.

• In the said notification it has been mentioned that the Governor in exercise of

the power conferred by sub-section (4) of section 11 of the West Bengal

Municipal Corporation Act, 2006 (West Bengal Act XXXIX of 2006) has been

pleased hereby to appoint the Board of Administrators for the said

Corporation consisting with the following members of the said Board with

immediate effect and until further order(s):

• Sri Tapas Banerjee, Hon’ble Member, West Bengal Legislative Assembly

and

• Additional District Magistrate, Asansol.

The Governor is further pleased to direct that the Additional District Magistrate,

Asansol, shall act as the Chairperson of the said Board of Administrators until

further order(s).

Page 5: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

• The Notification appointing Administrator and Board of Administrator u/s 11

of The West Bengal Municipal Corporation Act, 2006 is totally wrong illegal

and contrary to the provision laid down in sec. 11 of The West Bengal

Municipal Corporation Act, 2006.

• On plain & simple reading of sec. 11 of The West Bengal Municipal Corporation

Act, 2006 it would be clear that “The Board Councilors, unless dissolved

earlier, shall hold office for a period of 5 (five) years from the date appointed

for its first meeting after the general election and no longer” and also from

sub-sec. (3) it would be clear that “In a newly constituted Corporation area, all

the powers or functions, vested with the Corporation authorities under this

Act or under any other law, for the time being in force, for the purpose of

shaping up the municipal administration, shall be exercised or performed, as

the case may be, by such person or persons to be designated as the

Administrator or the Board of Administrators, as the State Government may,

by notification, appoint for a period not exceeding 6 (six) months”.

So sub-sec. (3) speaks about newly constituted corporation area which is

not applicable to Asansol Municipal Corporation.

And from sub-sec. (4) of sec. 11 of The West Bengal Municipal Corporation

Act, 2006 it would be found that “If for any reason, it is not possib le to hold

the general election of a Corporation before the expiry of the period of 5 (five)

years, specified in sub-sec. (2), the Board of Councilors shall stand dissolved on

the expiration of the said period and all the powers of functions vested with

the Corporation authorities under this Act or under any other law for the time

being in force, shall be exercised or performed, as the case may be, by such

Page 6: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

person or persons to be designated as the Administrator or the Board of

Administrators as the State Government, by notification, appoint”.

• But in case of A.M.C. the Board has not dissolved before expiry of 5 (five)

years. The term of the Board started on 17th June 2009 and expired on 17th

June 2014 so in Asansol Municipal Corporation No Administrator or Board of

Administrator can be appointed. Moreover The A.D.M., Asansol and Sri Tapas

Banerjee are neither the directors of the local bodies nor District Magistrate or

Sub-Divisional Magistrate.

• In view of such facts & circumstances, both the Notification No. 318/MA/O/C-

4/1M-1/2001 dated, Kolkata, the 14th day of July 2014 and No. 455/MA/O/C-

4/1M-1/2001 dated, Kolkata, the 29th day are wrong and both should be

cancelled or recalled.

• The only remedy is delegation of power to District Magistrate or Sub-Divisional

Magistrate.

• Be it mentioned that the then Mayor, Sri Tapas Banerjee during his tenure has

committed and adopted several illegal means for his personal gain and

committed series of embezzlement of Government & Municipal Funds for

which he is liable to be punished under the law. The details of his illegal acts

and embezzlement of funds has been mentioned in separate sheets (5 [five]

pages) and enclosed to this Notice.

Page 7: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

We, therefore give you this notice requesting you to set aside / cancel /

withdraw / recall both the Notification No. (i) 318/MA/O/C-4/1M-1/2001 dated,

Kolkata, the 14th day of July 2014 and (ii) No. 455/MA/O/C-4/1M-1/2001 dated,

Kolkata, the 29th day within 7 (seven) days from the receipt of this notice failing

which we shall have no other alternative but to file a Writ Petition before Hon’ble

High Court at Calcutta without any further reference.

Thanking you Yours faithfully

(Durgesh Nagi) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the particulars of malpractice & embezzlement of Government & Municipal Corporation Funds

The details of illegal acts and embezzlement of Government & Municipal Funds

made by Sri Tapas Banerjee (Ex-Mayor) are as follows: -

• Passing a bill amounting to Rs. 26 Crores in connection with construction of

houses at Chandmari “within Ward No. 28 of Asansol Municipal Corporation

under B.S.U.P. Scheme (Central Government Scheme) which was not passed

by previous Board for using the sub standard materials but the Ex-Mayor,

Tapas Bandhopadhyay clandestinely passed the said disputed bill for Rs. 26

Crores without any approval of the Board of Councilors.

• Passing the another disputed bill of about Rs. 30 Crores approx against the

maintenance of water treatment plant at Kalajharia, Burnpur.

• The record will speak that 90% of the work order from 17 th June 2009 to

January 2013 have been issued without publishing any Tender notice or

seeking any Tender from intending bidders / contractors.

Page 8: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

• One Sri Biren Mukherjee sent applications on 26.10.12, 05.11.12 & 18.11.12

under R.T.I. Act but neither the then Mayor nor the previous Commissioner,

Mr. Ikot sent any reply on the contrary they sent 2 (two) letters (Page 2 of 9

no. lines).

• That after taking oath the then Mayor, Sri Tapas Bandhopadhyay declared

that he will take legal steps against the promoter named Sri Sachin Roy who

have illegally constructed a Shopping Complex named Parbati ……. & also

Hotel Parbati International encroaching side land of G.T. Road i.e. covering

footpath Opposite Old R.K. Mission School (now Gupta College of

Pharmaceuticals).

• There is also serious illegality and embezzlement of fund in the matter of

construction of Nazrul Park over the side land of G.T. Road within Ward No.

17 of A.M.C. and a bill for Rs. 30 lakhs have been passed by the Mayor in

collusion with Mr. Rabiul Islam, M.I.C. and an old friend of Mr. Tapas Banerjee

though on proper verification it will found that hardly Rs. 3 (three) lakhs has

been spent for construction of said park. Mr. Rabiul Islam has also constructed

a Party Office over a portion of land where park has been made.

• That after the death of Binoy Sarkar, Councilor of Ward No. 6 and the death of

Goutam Maji of Ward No. 47 no election was held for about 2½ (two & half)

years. During these said period the Mayor, Sri Tapas Banerjee was in charge of

those 2 (two) vacant wards and he shown massive expenses on several heads

though no work was made in the said 2 (two) wards and thereby the Mayor

has embezzled the huge amount of money from exchequer of A.M.C.

• In Ward No. 13 a false bill for Rs. 15 (fifteen) lakhs has been passed in the

name of “Akhil Udyog”. But no work was done against the work order.

Page 9: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

• There are serious malpractices same as Para 11.

• The Deputy Mayor, Mr. Amar Chatterjee charged an amount of Rs. 6,000/-

towards municipal tax whereas the actual amount should be 16,000/- per

quarter.

• There is a big shopping complex at Chitra Cinema More, Burnpur and the then

Mayor has assessed the tax of Rs. 20,000/- per year only for the said shopping

complex though the tax of said mall including shops should be at least 3

(three) lakhs per year.

• Thereafter on transfer of Mr. Jayanta Aikot from Asansol one Smt. Shilpa

Gouri Saria (IAS) S.D.O. Asansol was appointed as Commissioner of A.M.C.

and during the short span as Commissioner A.M.C. she detected huge

malpractice / defalcation of money in the Department of Environment and

garbage liefting/ cleaning and she also stopped issuing work order without

any Tender and started E- Tendering. Be it mentioned that one Sri Tapas

Ghosh got appointment on contractual basis in the year 2004 during the

period of previous board when Sri Tapas Roy was the Mayor of Asansol

Municipal Corporation during the previous Board.

• That in the month of May 2009 Sri Tapas Banerjee sworn in as Mayor of

Asansol Municipal Corporation and Sri Tapas Banerjee not only extended the

terms of service of Tapas Ghosh on contractual basis for a further period of 5

(five) years but also appointed him as his personal assistant and the

malpractice in the matter of allotment of Petrol / Diesel in cleaning / Safai

Trucks, purchasing of various cleaning apparatus and specifically preparing

the salary sheet for sweepers, Safaiwalla, labours, supervisors, drivers etc.

and such practice was being continued since June 2009 till March 2013 and

Page 10: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

the Mayor himself continued to pass those bills directly and ultimately the

previous Commissioner of A.M.C. cum S.D.O. Asansol Smt. Shilpa Gouri Saria

(IAS) who also happened to be a Chartered Accountant and she detected the

Malpractice in the said Environment Department and changed the old

practice of payment of bills since 2004 and ordered to pay the salary of

Safaiwallas and / or all payments through cheques instead of cash as a result

of which the amount of money being paid to the Sweepers contract labours /

garbage cleaner as a result the amount abruptly reduced to half the amount

approx. and it is Shilpa Gouri Saria who caught the false billing and stopped a

long and old malpractice red-handed. After such detection the Mayor Sri

Tapas Banerjee has no other alternative but to admit the fact of the

malpractice in the Asansol Municipal Corporation but he tactfully tried to

shift the burden solely upon the officer Sri Tapas Ghosh the Officer of

Environment Dept. and made him an “Escape Goat” and lodged a written

complaint on 23.05.2013 only against the said officer without mentioning

the names of sanitary Inspectors who are responsible for Initiation of bills

and the officers who are responsible to check & verify the bills. The amount

of emblazlement and/or defalcation of Municipal Fund only in the Account of

environment department exceeds 1.5 (one and half) crores of Rupees beside

the other malpractices in the department of Water, Electricity, Tax, Trade

license and Roads etc.

• In the FIR made by Sri Tapas Banerjee tried to show that the Environment

Officer i.e. Tapas Ghosh is the only person responsible for such a huge

defalcation of money and made him an “escape goat”. It is more surprising

The Mayor before sending the case/FIR to Police got a declaration from Mr.

Page 11: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

Ghosh after confining Mr. Ghosh in the chamber of the Chairman of A.M.C.

Sri Jitendra Tewari under threat and pressure and wrongful confinement to

the effect that “I Mr. Ghosh am solely responsible for the malpractice and

defalcation of corporation fund” and forwarded a written complaint / after

making the officer solely responsible for such huge amount of

defalcation/embezzlement of Public money and thereby before the enquiry

by Police/investigating Agency The Mayor decided the case of defalcation

and there by Fixed/set the line or direction of Investigation by exerting his

Political Power and official capacity.

Be it mentioned that Sri Jitendra Tewari Chairman is also the Union leader

of Sweeper / Labour / Safaiwalas of A.M.C. and he has /had every knowledge

about the exact number of sweeper/labour working under A.M.C. as he

has/had regular meeting with them and their gang leader (mate). Moreover a

letter vide memo no.449/DS/SPIO/MA/RIA – 1/2007 dated Kolkata 12th

November 2012 from the Depty. Secretary Municipal Affairs Writers’

Building/Kolkata was also sent to the Chairman A.M.C. when the Mayor and

commissioner of A.M.C. were not caring to give any answer to the queries

made in the Applications under R.T.I. Act rather supported the illegal activity

of Sri Tapas Banerjee and Officers responsible and blindly and actively

supported Sri Tapas Banerjee to make Sri Tapas Ghosh a “Escape Goat”.

The Chairman, Sri Jitendra Tewari in collusion with the Mayor have invested

Rs. 34 crores of money out of A.M.C. Fund for construction of houses over the

land of E.C.L. at Damra within Ward No. 36 where Sri Jitendra Tewari is the

councilor surprisingly the bills has already been paid to the contractor in

collusion with each other though the houses are still incomplete.

Page 12: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

• That in the written complaint / F.I.R. sent on 23.05.2013 to Police but The

Mayor did not mention the names of Sanitary Inspectors who initiated the

fake & inflated bills and also the names of responsible Officers of A.M.C. who

processed the fake bills as Mayor knows if their names are mentioned in the

F.I.R. they will unearth the actual fact behind the massive corruption made

by him.

• Thereafter the Police started a case being Asansol (S) P.S. Case No. 240/13

dated. 23.05.2013 u/s 420 / 409 / 465 / 467 / 468 / 471 / 120B I.P.C. and the

O/C entrusted the case for Investigation to Mr. Biswanath Mazumdar the 2nd

Officer of Asansol (South) P.S. who got an order of remand from A.C.J.M.

Court Asansol for 10 (ten) days but the officer is not enquiring the case

properly or in right direction and till date he has not seize the CAG report

from the office of A.M.C. and also the connecting papers bills and note sheet

made by previous commissioner A.M.C. cum S.D.O. Asansol Smt. Shilpa Gouri

Saria and the details of Accounts relating to inflated bills and salary sheet of

sweepers of Environment Department since 2004. The I/O is regularly visiting

the office of The Mayor and Chairman of A.M.C. and consulting with them to

find out the ways and means to save the skin Mayor i.e. Sri Tapas Banerjee

and making consultation with the Mayor who has direct involvement in the

matter of defalcation of huge Govt. Fund and corporation fund as the Mayor

happened to be the final passing officer of those monthly fake and false bills

relating the Environment Department. The Chief Accountant Sri Shyama

Prasad Mukherjee has also hands in the matter as he is also responsible to

check & verify the geniuness of the Bills.

Page 13: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

• That The Mayor just before Durga Puja 2013 went to Kolkata by Coal Field

Express and submitted 2 (two) cheques total amounting to Rs. 3 (three) crores

in total at Axis Bank at 4 Clive Row, Kolkata-700001 and ICICI Bank, 22 R.N.

Mukherjee Road, Kolkata-01 on 08.10.13 and made a Mobile call to the party

and demanded commission in cash.

• The 1s t Signatory Sri Monoj Kumar Mitra also sent an application under RTI Act

on 04.06.2013 which was Regd. On 18.06.2012 and in answer to the said

application the present Public Information Officer cum Municipal Engineer

Sri Sukumar Mukherjee sent a reply vide his Memo no. PW/Eng/13 dated

26.06.2013 in the same line of the previous Commissioner Mr. Jayanta Ikot

requesting Mr. Mitra him to inspect the records in between 2.00 p.m. to 4.00

p.m. in any working day in the 2nd week of July 2013’ which is nothing but

avoiding tactic as he is directly involved in all most all the corruption with Sri

Tapas Banerjee & his two (2) old friends and inspection of such huge and

voluminous records of A.M.C. is not only impossible by a single person but

also beyond the scope of RTI Act and thereby denied to give any answer to

the quarries made by Sri Monoj Kumar Mitra.

• That recently a huge defalcation of corporation fund has been detected in

the matter of collection of Development charges collected by Asansol

Municipal Corporation at Asansol Bus Stand.

• The Mayor of AMC, Sri Tapas Banerjee appointed one Sri Asim Mitra

(Bachu) without any sanction of the Board of Councilors and without

floating any TENDOR for collection of development charges from the buses

parked at Asansol Bus Stand approx. number of buses 326 including 16

Volvo Buses and the approximate collection towards the Development

Page 14: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

charges is Rs 1630/- per day i.e. Rs. 48,900/- p.m. i.e. Rs. 6,00,000/- per

annum and Rs. 18,00,000/- for last three years.

• From the receipts issued by Asim Mitra, the collecting agent, it would be

found that he used to collect Rs. 5/- to Rs. 10/- per bus per day on behalf of

Asansol Municipal Corporation since March 2011 under the direction and

order of Tapas Banerjee but no money was deposited in the Corporation.

There after one Sri Raju Walia made a written complaint on 19th March ’14

requesting the Mayor to make an enquiry over the matter and see that the

Development fees are collected properly and the collections are deposited

in the cash of AMC regularly.

• But surprisingly after the said complaint only Rs. 15,000/-per month were

deposited at a time but there is no trace of Rest Rs. 35,000/- p.m. causing

defalcation of huge amount of Corporation money and the Mayor is directly

involved in the matter.

Fund allotted under B.S.U.P. Scheme and MGNREGA Scheme allotted to Asansol Municipal Corporation, Asansol, West Bengal

Page 15: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

Sir,

We the undersigned persons beg to inform you about wholesale stealing /

serious corruption & malpractice within Asansol Municipal Corporation since June

2009. We sought for necessary information’s regarding several malpractices and

siphoning of money by means of passing fake & inflated bills by the corporation

authority repeatedly but unfortunately they avoided to give any answer. Such

silence by the authority goes to show that the Mayor of A.M.C. and its officers are

avoiding disclosing about the details of transaction as the cat will be out of the

bag. The details of illegal transactions and passing of wrong bills are given follows:

-

• The Bills amounting to Rs. 26 Crores in connection with construction of houses

at “Chandmari” within Ward No. 28 of A.M.C. under B.S.U.P. Scheme (a

Central Govt. Scheme) was not paid by the previous Board for using sub-

standard material by the contractor but Sri Tapas Bandopadhyay, The Mayor

of the present Board clandestinely passed the said disputed bill for Rs. 26

crores without any approval of the Board of Councilors for illegal gain though

at the initial stage The Mayor called for a report from the Engineer of Dept. of

Municipal Affairs Govt. of West Bengal Kolkata but subsequently the Mayor,

Sri Tapas Bandopadhyay without getting any report from Kolkata passed the

Bill for 26 crores for illegal gain.

• That being inspired by passing the aforesaid huge amount of Bill, The Mayor

again passed another disputed and huge amount of bill of about Rs. 30 crores

against maintenance of water treatment plant at Kalajhoria Burnpur in

Page 16: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

collusion with his old friend Mr. Rabiul Islam who was / is holding the water &

electricity portfolio without any sanction of the Board of Councilors and both

were / are directly involved in the matter of passing the disputed bill for their

illegal gain.

• That the Ex-Mayor, Sri Tapas Banerjee misused and embezzled huge amount of

Central Govt. Funds sent under MGNREGA Scheme for 100 days work. The

money was drained out by Ex-Mayor through several parks within in Asansol

Corporation area to satisfy his friends and Hench men. Such as Spandan Park

at Court Road Nazrul Park at G.T. Road West, Sayed Ahmed Park, G.T. Road,

near bus stand, Nehru Park, G.T. Road, near Traffic Colony, Rabindranath

Tagore Park at G.T. Road, Usha Gram, Sukanta Maidan (Park) at S.B. Gorai

Road and also in the matter of cleaning / excavating of the existing tanks

within Asansol Municipal Corporation area and other development work and

creation of property (wealth) for the purpose of earning / livelihood of poor

people.

• There are as many as 9 (nine) forms starting from filling up of applications by

unskilled person ending with property / wealth register. But on thorough

enquiry it would be found that all the payments made by the corporation

through the institution / employment body against the L.T.I. of unskilled

workers. Out of which more than 50% L.T.I. were maid by some of the

persons employed in the job. In other words more than 50% of the

beneficiaries are Ghost and without any JOB CARD the said money and the

actual beneficiaries of the said money were shared by Sri Tapas Banerjee, the

Page 17: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

Ex-Mayor and the head of the institution through which the payments were

made.

• In the recent past huge numbers of flats / buildings were contracted at Damra

within Ward No. 35 where Jitender Tiwari was the Councilor & Ex-Chairman.

The said constructions were made under B.S.U.P. Scheme but such houses /

flats were constructed illegally over land of Eastern Coalfield Limited and Rs.

34 (thirty four) crores of rupees were spent and payments were made in full

to the constructers without completion of buildings / flats and no allotments

has been made till date to the homeless persons. And Sri Tapas Banerjee and

one of his partner Sri Jitender Tiwari were directly involved in the matter of

embezzlement and misuse of Central Govt. Funds. Kindly note that Central

Auditor General (C.A.G.) made an enquiry in the year 2012 and submitted a

report mentioning about the irregularity & illegality committed by the Mayor,

Asansol Municipal Corporation but unfortunately no steps has been taken by

the Department of Municipal Affairs Govt. of West Bengal.

• Huge amount has been misappropriate by Sri Jitender Tiwari on account of

Hindi Academy. Kindly also made a through enquiry about the allotment of

In response to the comments made in the Face Book of Md. Firoz Khan, on 18//10/2014 in there FaceBook on 16/17-10-14 in response to my post in my Face book.

• Do you know that the Notification No. 455/MA/O/C-4/1M-1/2001 dated,

Kolkata, the 29th day of September 2014 has been challenged by us in the

matter of appointment of Sri Tapas Banerjee, Ex-Mayor of A.M.C. for his

appointment as member of Board of Administrator?

• Do you know that the Public of Asansol made series of R.T.I. Applications on

26.10.12, 05.11.12 & 16.11.12 but all the time Sri Sukumar Mukherjee, Sri

Jayanta Ikot did not give any information and tactfully asked the Applicant to

verify the record of A.M.C. personally which is not at all possible and unknown

to law. Thereafter one Sri Manoj Kumar Mitra also made an R.T.I. Application

Page 19: "TAPAS BANERJEE EX- MAYOR ASANSOL EXPOSED"

on 04.06.13 but this time also neither the Mayor nor the Public Information

Officer of A.M.C. did not give any answer to the said application and took the

same plea of inspection personally by the Applicant.

already allowed the Writ Application against the Public Information Officer and

Ex-Mayor of A.M.C., Asansol vide order dated 07.07.14 in Writ Petition being

Concerned Authority of A.M.C., Asansol.

• In our letter dated 14.10.14 we have challenged the appointment of Sri Tapas

Banerjee enclosed a sheet containing the illegal activity committed by Sri

Tapas Banerjee, Mr. Rabiul Islam & Sri Amar Nath Chatterjee which were not

answered against the R.T.I. Application inspite of order of Hon’ble High Court,

Calcutta but you have reacted only against Rabiul Islam keeping 2 (two) other

persons out of your reaction?

• However in your comments you have admitted about the existence of a party

office constructed by the side of Nazrul Park and over the side land of G.T.

Road. But you have tactfully shifted the burden upon Javed Akhtar @ Jhaboo.

In your comment you have raise the pleas that the construction has been

made during the C.P.M. period as if any illegal construction during the period

of C.P.M. over a Govt. land (side land of G.T. Road) is legal.

• I am surprised no objection has been raised by Rabiul Islam himself and if he

has the courage advise him to file a case against me and so that to prove his

ignorance and fairness.
