NTPC quickens compensation process for deceased in Uttarakhand tragedy

NTPC on Monday said it has sped up the procedure to pay compensation to the families of workers who died in the Tapovan tragedy.

NTPC’s 520 mega watt (MW) under-construction Tapovan Vishnugad Hydro Project, located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand was largely affected on February 7, 2021, due to flash floods caused by an unprecedented snowfall that triggered an avalanche, the company said.
