Lava seeks UP CM intervention in alleged sourcing anomalies of smartphones

New Delhi: Home-grown mobile company Lava International has written to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath to seek an enquiry into the sourcing of smartphones by the state’s women and child development department. In a letter to the chief minister dated April 24, Lava International has alleged that it has been disqualified from the procurement process on “unjustified reason” and “the reason given by the department is irrelevant to the performance of the device”.

According to the annexure submitted by Lava, the company has been disqualified from projects on ground related to ‘origin country’ of the firm, service app not being relevant and past performance criteria.
