Author:

GUJRANWALA – Operations of Nandipur power project on Thursday were given in supervision of a US company.

General Electric and its subcontractor Albario Engineering Private Ltd has taken charge of the project. At least 144 foreigners have reached the site to manage operations. About 425 megawatts of electricity would be generated through the plant.

It should be mentioned here that Nandipur project’s managing director was sacked few weeks earlier for slackness and poor performance. The government had entered in talks with foreign companies following the MD’s removal from the post. Project director Shahid Suhail was also removed for work shirking.

The decision was taken even before the inquiry of alleged malpractices and corruption was called. The decision was taken on advice of the Board of Directors of the GENCO-III, Ministry of Water and Power. The ministry had appointed Shahzada Akbar as the new project director.
