Ghaziabad, Jan 12 (IANS) A councillor Monday demanded an audit of the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation's works which, he alleged, resulted in a loss of Rs.40 crore to the civic agency.

"The government order said that a regular audit should be conducted and its copy be sent to the audit director on a monthly basis. It will be published in the yearly report," said councillor Rajendra Tyagi.

The municipal body has been running in deficit of Rs.40 crore, Tyagi said at a press conference here.

"Our municipal officers have not allowed the audit to take place. Whenever the team came, the officers did not provide it books and details to do the work. The team complained about it. The audit was also suppressed at the government level," said Tyagi.

He demanded a special audit to cover a period of 20 years since the inception of the municipal corporation in 1994.
