Investigations into the 2010 procurement of glycol-chilling machine worth Rs 60 lakh for Aarey Dairy, Goregaon, which hasn’t yet been installed, has taken a twist. This paper has learnt that the firm that was to supply and install the machinery after bagging the tender floated by the dairy, has been shut since a month.

On Monday, when a MiD DAY team visited Hammersmith Industrial Estate, Mahim, where Premier Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Pvt Ltd occupies an office at unit no 215, the unit was found locked. Inquiries with other occupants in the complex revealed that a month ago, recovery officers from NKGSB bank had sealed the said unit over non-clearance of their debts.
