C.A.G says "Utility Failed To Add Capacity As Per Requirement: 5 Projects Missed Deadline"
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has pulled up the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board for gross mismanagement, resulting in losses running into several hundred crores. The audit report for 2009-2010, which was tabled in the assembly the other day, pointed out that as against a required capacity addition of 3,977 MW between 2005 and 2010, the state added a meager 290 MW. Five projects missed their time schedule during the period owing to improper project management. It resulted in a cost over-run of Rs 392.37 crore. Projects that failed to meet the deadlines include Bhavani Kattalai barrages II and III, which missed the target due to delay in award of work and delay in execution. The up-gradation of Sholayar and Periyar power houses, which were included in the National Electricity Plan for completion in 2006-2009, were not included in the state plan and were not taken up for implementation.
What a wretched system prevalent in the government? The people concerned never seemed to be serious and sincere in their work during this period. What forced them to remain inactive in taking decisions and executing them? This certainly needs to be probed so that such delay and indifference in work doesn't get replicated again and again putting the people to lot of hardships in future.
