GM(R) FCI, elaborated that the documents in respect of four stage inspections as envisaged in the MTF,were sought from MPWLC by FCI. In this context, attention of SLC was drawn by FCI officers that in order to ascertain the structural soundness and to ensure that the godowns have been constructed as per MTF specifications, it was required to carry out the Joint Inspections at four levels viz. (i) layout stage, (ii) lintel level, (iii) roofing level and (iv) completion stage. GM(Region), FCI further stated that in respect of private PEG god owns, FCI has sought certain,'~...

3 documents/clarifications from MPWLC related to land/ ownership details of PEG godowns, certificate that godown has been constructed on the same land as per tender document, and copies of NOC/CLU for construction of these godowns. In respect of MPWLC godowns constructed in new complex, copies of NOC/CLU for construction have been sought. 4.3 Engineer-in-Chief, MPWLC stated thatcompletion Stage Joint Inspections have been carried out, however there is n6 specific information available about four level joint inspection. 4.4 While referring to the minutes of last HLC dated , Executive Director (West), FCI, informed the SLC that in some of the godowns of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, mandatory four stage inspections during construction were skipped and HLC vide agenda item No. 6/48 (Point No 6.2) and 8/48 (Point No. 8.1 ii) of the above meeting, had decided to get those godowns inspected by an Independent Agency i.e. CPWD for the structural soundness of such godowns where one or more (out of four level joint inspections) had been skipped. He stressed that on the same analogy, given the fact these inspections have been skipped in MP, the exercise regarding structural soundness(as have been decided by HLC in its above referred meeting of ) may be carried out in all such godowns of MPWLC, CWC and Private Investors. 4.5 Officers of MPWLC&CWC stated that the case of MPWLC / CWC cannot be treated at par with Private Investors as far as skipping of four level Joint Inspections is concerned. They further stated that their organisations have their own specialized Engineering wings and the godowns of several lakh,:pai Secreta,,,,rnment of Madhya.Prace' Food Civil Supplies & onsum~r Protection Dept' 3

4 MTs have been constructed by them in the past 3-4 decades under their own supervision. 4.6 PS (Food), while agreeing to the above pleas of CWC and MPWLC, opined that these Agencies are competent in their own domain to certify the structural soundness of the constructed capacity. Regarding private capacities, PS (Food) was of the opinion that certificate of any Independent Govt Agency should serve the purpose of certifying the structural sq,undness of godowns, where the four level inspections during construction stage had been skipped in M.P. Resolution - I :- 4.7 After detailed discussions, the SLC resolved to recommend to HLC that in case of godowns constructed by Pvt. Investors, the Investor may be advised to submit a certificate of Structural Soundness from any Independent Govt. Agency. However, in case of PEG godowns constructed by MPWLC / CWC, the aforesaid certificate of Structural Soundness given by MPWLC / CWC, may be accepted. 4.8 Regarding documents pertaining to land/ownership details, NOC, Certificate certifying that godowns have been constructed on the same land as per tender document etc. as sought by FCr, Engineer-in-Chief, MPWLC informed that the said documents have already been verified by MPWLC & FCr jointly during Technical Evaluation and at various other stages of construction of godowns by MPWLC and therefore, seeking these documents by Fcr at this stage, is not justified. 4.9 PS (Food) mentioned that MP is a DCP State and the onus of verification of these documents lies with MPWLC and not with 4,nc:pai Secreta I).,vernment of Madhya. Prade'o Food. Civil Supplies & j' ':onsumer Protection Oep

He advised Engineer-in-Chief, MPWLC to issue a letter to FCI certifying that all these documents required under the MTF, as requested by FCI, have been verified by MPWLC to their full satisfaction and in case of any discrepancy / legal complication at a later stage, MPWLC will be solely responsible. Resolution - II : SLC resolved that on the basis of above-said certificate <' of MPWLC, no documents may be sought by FC! GM (R), FCr pointed out that in case of (i) PEG Mandla (5000 MTs) and (ii) PEG Budhni (10000 MTs),the land on which the godowns have been constructed, is slightly less than the minimum requirement of land as per MTF It was informed by Engineer-in-chief MPWLC that the land is slightly lesser (Mandla acres instead of 2 acres & Budhni 3.66 acres instead of 3.70 acres). He confirmed that there are no operational problems because of this deficiency. Engineer-in-Chief further pointed out that the HLC, in its meeting held on , had authorized the SLCs to decide minor deviations cropping up in future at their level PS (Food) was of opinion that since these variations are almost close to the land requirement, the same may be accepted. Resolution - III : SLC accordingly resolved to accept the above cited minor deficiencies in land.,',i'inclpal Secretar) ;overnment of Madhya. Prade~ Food Civil Supplies & Consum~r Protection Dept' 5

It was also informed to SLC that these godowns have been put to use and have been utilised upto 100% during the previous procurement seasons. 5.2 In all these god owns, MPWLC, the Nodal Agency has proposed for using hand lamp with flexible wire instead of internal ejectrification due to safety precautions from fire/short circuits. Considering the fire related risks of installation of internal electrification and in view of decision taken in SLC dated , SLC allowed takeover of godowns without internal electrification. It was emphasized that the operations in the godowns should not get hampered for want of lighting and some alternate arrangement should be in place, whenever need arises. 5.3 In case of MPWLC Samnapur, it was pointed out in the Agenda that Weigh Bridge has been installed at nearby premises 500 Metres away. However, Engineer in Chief, MPWLC informed the SLC that the weighbridge is installed in the existing complex of MPWL.C and is within same boundary where PEG godown has been constructed.

MPWLC was requested to include this in their CSA calculation. Resolution. - V :- 5.6 SLC noted that there is an average delay of 03 years in all these four locations. Regarding certification of structural soundness as well as the scrutiny of documents required under MTF for construction of godowns, the decisions as at point no. 4.7 & 4.9 above will be applicable subject to the approval of HLC. Accordingly SLC resolved to recommend MPWLC Semriharchand, MPWLC Diwatiya and MPWLC Samnapur godowns to HLC for takeover. 5.7 In respect of MPWLC Shivpuri ( 4200 MTs), SLC resolved to place the matter in the next SLC after recalculation of CSA for lesser plinth height. 6.

12 12660 MTs is at Roofing stage and 3340 MTs at plinth level. He proposed an extension of one year period for construction beyond the stipulated timeframe of one plus one year as per MTF as has been done in other cases. 8.2 ED(Zone) FCI was of the opinion than the Investor has already delayed the project and it will not even be possible to put this godown to use in the ensuing RMS. Resolution - VI :- 8.3 SLC deliberated on the issue and decided to recommend to HLC to grant a onetime extension for construction up to with a deposition of Rs. 25/MT as Bank Guarantee which would be liable to be forfeited in case of any delays beyond It was also decided that in case HLC approves the extension of the time frame of one year i.e. upto , this godown shall be considered for hiring only on achievement of 100% capacity utilization and deposition of double CSA (if applicable) whichever is later, as per the decision of HLC dated MPWLC was advised to guide the Investor on proper construction of the godown to avoid any subsequent issues on account of deviation & ensure that left over joint inspections at various levels are scrupulously carried out. 9.

PEG Gadarwara was cancelled during SLCs dated , , , and He further informed that Private investors so affected have requested for reinstatement of aforesaid cancelled capacities ED (West) FCI regretted the decision of MPWLC to place in SLC, the issue of reinstatement of cancelled capacities, especially the case of Gadarwara, which was rejected by SLC '- l-nncipal Secretary,)overnmen! of Madhya Prades Food, Civil Supplies & ~onsumer Protection Dept! 13

14 on four occasions earlier. He further stated that the SLC had taken a well thought of decision for cancellation as these Investors have wasted good four years of time, which is much beyond the stipulated time period. He apprised to SLC that even HLC has already noted these cancellations in its last meeting held on ED (West) held the view that the Appeals should be rejected forthwith Engineer-in-chief, MPWLC stated that at Bioara, Datia, Gadarwara and Shujalpur (19000 MT instead of MT) 'I,~ godowns are completed and at Banapura godown is complete but ancillary works are under progress. These godowns had been put to use since last 1-2 Rabi Procurement seasons and requested for reconsideration of the decision of cancellation by SLC dated loa PS (Food) opined that since godowns are already complete and are also being used for storage of stock, cancellations would affect the Investors adversely. He advised that the same may be placed before HLC for consideration of extension in time frames on similar lines as have been done in some cases in other states. He proposed that Bank Guarantee of Rs. SO/MT may be sought from these investors in case HLC decides to grant these extensions. Resolution - VIII : After deliberations SLC resolved to recommend the Appeals to HLC for consideration. 11. AGENDA No.6: PROPOSAL FOR RECONSIDERATION OF PENALTY CLAUSE FOR PENDING BITUMINOUS ROAD/ BLACK TOPPING. 14 Principal Secretary.'overnment of Madhya Prades; ~ Food Civil Supplies & 0 \' ~f)nsumerprotection ep

15 11.1 Engineer-in-Chief MPWLC read out the Agenda and informed the SLC about the status of black topping of Roads in about 37 godowns which have already been taken over for use under Guaranteed scheme. He stated that in about 19 god owns, Black Topping has been under taken in stipulated one year period and in 16 godowns Black Topping has been done after a lapse of one year. He also informed that in 02 godowns, Black Topping has not been done till date. He requested SLC for a way forward on the delayed works. 1/i' 11.2 GM(R), FC! read out the decision of HLC dated regarding black topping which is as under "HLC observed that black topping is one of the essential items and no permanent relaxation can be given for the same. Moreover, non-laying of black topping cannot be considered as a minor deviation and is easily rectifiable. The godowns without black topping were allowed to be taken over with condition that same will be laid within maximum period of one year. Not complying with the same nullifies the guarantee extended to the investor. In view of above, HLC decided that guarantee of such godowns should immediately be terminated and entire period of guarantee till date should be considered on AVa making the necessary recoveries. Further, as penalty measure the rent paid/payable may be arrived at by reducing the rentals by double the cost saving on the principle of time value of money. " ED(West) and GM(R), Fe! stated that decision of HLC is very clear and MPWLC should accordingly take action & effect recoveries and comply with HLC's decision PS(Food) opined that the decision of HLC to cancel the agreements in case of those who have failed to do the needful in an year's time from the date of takeover, is too harsh and 15 '~nncipal Secretary jqvernment of Madhya Prades Food. Civil Supplies & Sonsumer Protection Deptt

16 needs a relook. He suggested that once the agreement is executed & Investor has invested huge amount, termination of agreement with retrospective effect will create lots of disputes and litigations. He further suggested that where the Investors have failed to complete the Black Topping within due date, they need to be penalised for only delayed period (the difference between the period of due date and actual date of laying of Black Topping) with some monetary penalty. Resolution - IX : SLC deliberated the issue and decided to recommend as follows :- (i) Payment will be made on AUB Basis if the taring is not done till completion (excluding 1 year period already provided). (ii) No termination of agreement, in case of failure. 17 AGENDA NO.7: DECISION TO BE TAKEN REGARDING RENTAL CUTS FOR NON AVAILABILITY OF WOODEN CRATES IN PEG GODOWNS EVEN AFTER THE RELAXED PERIOD OF ONE YEAR Engineer-in-chief MPWLC read out the agenda regarding non availability of wooden crates and decision of HLC to impose the rental cu~s in all such cases. He stated that in meeting dated (agenda item no. 9.S), HLC has decided to allow taking over of godowns on guarantee basis with a rental cut in the monthly payable rent for non-provisioning of wooden crates. Accordingly, FCI Head Quarter, New Delhi vide its letter No. E3(2S)/OS/HCL/stg. IV/Vol. IV dated , has imposed rental cut of Rs per quintal per month. 16 i'tmcipal Secretary overnment of Madhya Pradeb Food, Civil Supplies & ~onsumer Protection Deptt

17 12.2 Engineer-in-chief MPWLC further informed that some Investors did not provide wooden crates up to cut-off date i.e because it was not possible for them to use the wooden crates in the already occupied capacity where polythene sheets have been used as dunnage. These polythene sheets could be replaced only after the issue of the stored stocks and during new storage of wheat. He proposed that the relaxation to use wooden crates should be either for a period of one year or one turnover, whichever is later starting, , as in some cases wooden crates could not be used because stocks continued to be stored beyond which was cut-off date for relaxation to use wooden crates. He requested for a similar relaxation for prospective take overs also, so as to bring in the uniformity to the scheme GM(R) FCI stated that FCI Hqrs. letter No. E3(2B)/OB/HCL/stg. IV/Vol. IV, dated is silent on the treatment to be given to all such cases where there is delay on use of wooden crates beyond the relaxed period of one year. He informed SLC that matter stands referred to FCI Hqrs by his office seeking guidelines the on such cases where there is a delay in use of wooden crates beyond a period of one year. Resolution - X : SLC deliberated the issue and decided to recommend as follows :- (i) Cut-off date for providing wooden crates should be extended from date to March, 2017 with rental cut Rs per quintal per month. (ii) Twice rental cut (i.e. Rs per quintal per month) after 31 st March, i "rmc:pal Secretar~. overnment of Madhya Prades Food Civil Supplies & ~onsum~rprotection Deptt
