TAMBOO Apr 22 (PPI): Uch Power Plant management has earned Rupees 600 billion profit by violating agreement but 5 percent of income was not being spent for the welfare of people of Nasirabad under this accord and employment was being given to non locals.
This was stated by Member PPP Central Committee and former provincial minister Muhammad Sadiq Umrani while speaking with newsmen in Dera Murad Jamali Friday.
He said non supply of electricity from the said plant and non start of work on 132 kv grid station for Dera Murad Jamali speaks well of failure of NTDC. PPP would hold strong protest against this on May 4. This would not be against any individual but against NTDC for supply of electricity form Uch Power Plant. He said June 2016 is approaching but supply of electricity from Uch plant has not been started on 132 kv grid station. This is utter failure of QESCO.
He added that Uch Power Plant management was committing excesses with local population. We cannot sit silent. From Class four 6to pesh imam of mosque and entire staff is being recruited as non locals.
He said rupees 2 billion were released for desilting of Pat Feeder Canal and development but Irrigation Department embezzled the money and kissan and zamindars have been made hand to mouth for agri water.
He was of the view provincial government has failed to establish peace in Chattar and Mir Hassan. Administration officers have setup sub offices at Dera Murad Jamali, writ of police and administration has ended and people are worried.
He demanded NADRA offices should be setup at Chattar and Mir Hassan because poor people deprived of NIC would also be deprived from casting votes during general elections.
He said during PPP government notification was issued for allotment in Dera Murad Jamali but Senior Member Board of Revenue was not complying with orders and land mafia was capturing land of poor people.
