Guwahati, July 20 (IBNS) : Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Monday ordered an inquiry into the alleged bribery case by a US firm Louis Berger International Inc to be a Project Management Consultant (PMC) of a water supply project under Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).

The Assam CM directed the Additional Chief Secretary of the state government Subhas Das to probe into the bribery case.
