The chief minister said that effort is on to bring in transparency in government jobs and particularly in procurement. She said there will be e-tendering soon so that the contractors are not being harassed. The CM wanted similar sites for all departments.

The site even has detailed maps of the state highways and national highways in Bengal. Also, the website mentions the status of new roads in different parts of Bengal. All departmental circulars and tenders can be accessed through this site," Mamata said.
