A probe team from Bengaluru on Wednesday visited Raichur Thermal Power Station (RTPS) and Yermarus Thermal Power Station (YTPS) following the complaints of unauthorised storage and sale of coal allocated to the thermal plants.
The probe team comprising Yatiraj Raghunath, Ajay and Krishnamurthy visited the coal dumps at RTPS and YTPS where coal wagons are offloaded.
The contract to unload coal wagons at the said thermal plants was awarded to a contractor from Guntakal, Andhra Pradesh. It is alleged that the contractor in cahoots with a section of officers used to unload a portion of coal allocated to the plants at an unauthorised place.
