PANJIM: The State government will issue termination notice to Nagpur based Spanco Power Distribution Limited (SPDL) Company, within a fortnight, for failing to execute the first phase of the works under the Central Government’s Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Program (APDRP).
The Electricity department has already submitted a draft notice to government, before serving it to the company.
“The notice would be issued within a fortnight and accordingly the contract would be terminated,” sources said.
SPDL has already been blacklisted by state government and the company was issued show cause notice earlier this month after it delayed and failed to execute the first phase work of APDRP works within the given time frame.
As reported earlier, the company was supposed to have completed consumer indexing and graphical imaging within 18 months, which it failed to do. Goa has been given a target to complete all the works under APDRP by 2014.
The central government has sanctioned Rs 105 crore under APDRP for various projects in Goa. The state government had entered into the agreement with the company, on July 18, 2011, to finish the first phase within 18 months, which it failed to do, the official stated.
