This vital matter was very rightly taken up in a front-page news report published in a local English-language daily on Wednesday.It is a cause for worry that no prompt positive action is being taken to expedite the important matter of issuing a letter of intent and no step is being taken by the authorities to sign the agreement for setting up four already government approved power plant.
As stated in the report,Summit Group and GE Energy & Associates have been selected by the cabinet committee to set up three power plants for generating 1350 megawatts in Bhola.Why are these still being delayed and no steps taken to get this nationally important matter progress speedily?
The signing of the agreements and issue of work-order has been stalled for the last six months.The files on this subject are lying somewhere inside the bottomless government bureaucracy.Meanwhile,people suffer every day with short supply of the much needed electric power in both urban and rural areas.What happened to the government's pre-election commitment that rapid action on power capacity expansion will be taken?
Surely the suffering public deserve an answer from the elected government for this prolonged delay in signing the contract for the work to start,Is it not possible to have the contract signed within January 2011?Eill the authorities kindly clarify this important public matter? Or, is it not us to ask why?
