AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation (Buidco) has imposed a Rs 10 lakh fine on a contractor working under the Catchment‑V scheme after a motorcyclist fell into an unguarded, open‑pit drain near Beur jail in Patna; the inquiry found the site lacked proper barricading and on‑site personnel, breaching Clause‑IV of the contract which mandates a comprehensive work‑safety plan. Managing Director Animesh Kumar Parashar ordered all contractors to strictly adhere to safety standards across Buidco projects, to conduct regular inspections, and warned that repeat violations could trigger further penalties such as forfeiture of the bank guarantee, debarment from future tenders, and criminal prosecution under the Disaster Management Act. A show‑cause notice has been issued to the offending agency, with a two‑day deadline to respond.
