Power projects are of national importance, seeks action against anyone hindering those: Omar Abdullah
SRINAGAR, Dec 15 (PTI): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said the power projects under execution in the Union territory are construction works of national importance and law enforcement agencies should take action against anyone obstructing those.
His remarks came a couple of days after a senior officer associated with the construction of the 850-MW Ratle Hydroelectric Power Project in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district accused a BJP MLA of interfering in the works, and warned that continued disruptions could force the company to pull out of the project.
“There should be no (political) interference and (if there is any) it should be viewed very seriously,” Abdullah told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.
