Asks To Finish Project On Time, Cautions Officials
Suratgarh,Bikaner, Chief Minister Smt. Vasundhara Raje inspected the
under-construction Units 7 & 8 of Suratgarh Super Critical Thermal Power
Project during her Sarkar Aapke Dwar campaign on Wednesday. She expressed her
anguish before the officials of the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) for
delay in completing the project. The Chairman of the BHEL, a Government of
India Undertaking, was accompanying the CM during her visit.
Smt. Raje stated that her government was committed to provide
24-hours domestic power supply and 6-7 hours supply for agricultural works to
its people. Therefore, even a short-term delay in completion of this important
project would not be tolerated, she said.
The Chief Minister said that the BHEL had failed in meeting its
deadline to complete the project works as per the contract. The state
government handed over entire responsibility of these power generation units to
the BHEL and the company had breached trust by not finishing the work as per
the time schedule agreed upon, she said.
Smt. Raje made it clear to that the BHEL should finish the project
in time after setting new deadlines for itself, otherwise the state government
would be forced to think of the fresh proposals for the project from other
companies. She said that completion of the project had already been delayed by
7 months. The BHEL had been advised to complete the project before onset of
Rabi season in 2016.
Earlier, the Chief Minister held a high-level review meeting on
this project late on Tuesday night and expressed concerns over its slow
progress.
During her visit to the power plant project site, some labourers
complained about non-payment of their salaries. The Chief Minister took-up this
issue with the representatives of Ms. Power Mac, who provide labour services,
and directed them to make the payment of salaries in time. She further
suggested the company officials to give employment to local labourers as well.
