Land donors for Yadadri thermal power plant to be given jobs: Bhatti

The Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka assured that all those who gave up land for the Yadadri thermal and Pulichintala projects will be given jobs by August 15, and the promised R&R (Resettlement and Rehabilitation) packages will be fully implemented.  He further added that the entire 4,000 MW Yadadri thermal power plant would be dedicated to the nation by January next year. 

Bhatti Vikramarka, along with Ministers Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and Uttam Kumar Reddy and other elected representatives, dedicated the first unit of Yadadri Thermal power station to the nation and laid the foundation stone for the employees’ township at Dameracherla in Nalgonda district on Friday.

Congress Govt secured environment clearances in two months

Later, speaking at the review meeting, the Deputy Chief Minister explained that delays in obtaining environmental clearance during the previous government’s regime caused nearly a two-year delay in project execution and significantly increased costs. He highlighted that under the current Congress government, environmental clearances were secured within just two months of coming to power.

Plant will be dedicated to the nation by January 26       

Stating that monthly and weekly targets were set for the project’s progress, Bhatti Vikramarka said two units with a combined capacity of 1,600 MW have already been dedicated to the nation. 

Appreciating the dedication of all personnel, from ground-level workers to chief engineers, the Deputy Chief Minister said the Yadadri plant is nearing completion because of their collective effort.

He urged employees to set aside concerns about the plant’s remote location, assuring them of excellent local facilities. Bhatti Vikramarka announced plans for world-class educational institutions and corporate-level healthcare in the township. Additionally, free access to education and healthcare – on par with that provided to plant employees – would also be extended to the local communities. Similarly, ambulances will be provided to nearby constituencies, and welfare activities will be initiated to ensure that locals benefit directly from the presence of the thermal plant, Bhatti Vikramarka said.

Responding to local complaints about road damage due to heavy vehicle movement related to the power plant, he said a large number of CC roads have already been sanctioned and work has begun.
