What rubbsih piece of information is this. The report header missed to say rs 100 CRORE and just says Rs 100. Further down in its first sentence it says rs 100 crore. ANd in the awards category , the amount becomes 1000 crore instead of 100 crore. This is not an info one can rely upon so no point in reading such ambigous articles.
