The Government electrification programme has been delayed at many places in the State reportedly due to an alleged autocratic attitude of a contractual company, for which common people have suffered and departmental officers have become a worried lot.
Even, the Government is being forced to pay more interest on its loan incurred for the purpose.
According to information, the Tata Projects Limited has violated all norms set for electrification projects undertaken by it. Works of grid substations at Baimundi and Kiakata under the Dhamara area and Dashapalla grid substation are moving at a snail’s pace. While locals have expressed strong resentments, several appraisals of departmental officers and complaints by the Power Construction Employees’ Association have remained futile only.
