BJP flays Arunachal government for non-commissioning power project

ITANAGAR: BJP today alleged that the Arunachal Pradesh government was not commissioning a hydro project in remote Anjaw district even after its completion.

"The Maipani Micro Hydel project, started in 2007-08 and completed in 2009-10, is yet to be commissioned," the party said in a statement.

If the project had been commissioned timely there would have been no scarcity of electricity for domestic consumption in that area, it said.

"The state hydro power department is supposedly executing 11 hydro power projects in the district since 2004 and it is ridiculous that even after huge funds have been pumped into the projects, most of them are yet to be commissioned and are rusting," it said.
