Special Correspondent

TIRUCHI: The Tiruchi Corporation has announced that contractors, who bid for e-tenders for works valued above Rs.10 lakh, could submit their supporting original documents by post. Corporation Commissioner, T.T. Balsamy, in a statement issued here on Thursday, said contractors need not appear in person at the corporation office for submitting the documents.

Mr.Balsamy's statement comes in the wake of Wednesday's assault on a contractor, Subramanian, by supporters of a rival contractor. The Commissioner said that bids should be submitted only through the website tntenders.gov.in for all works valued above Rs.10 lakh. The documents for technical qualification can be scanned and uploaded online. The originals can then be sent by post to the corporation office before the specified deadline, he said.
