Telangana Genco seeks Yadadri thermal power plant nod
Human Rights Forum have been opposing the proposed power plant, stating it would pollute a water body flowing in its vicinity.
Hyderabad: The TSGenco has sought environmental clearance for its 5x800 MW thermal power project at Damaracherla in Nalgonda district, popularly known as the Yadadri thermal power plant.
Chairman and managing director D. Prabhakar Rao said TSGenco had explained the measures taken and rules followed to set up the thermal plant in the format given by the Union environment ministry. “We expect to get environmental clearance at the earliest as even the public hearing was conducted over a month ago,” he said.
Activists of the Human Rights Forum have been opposing the proposed power plant, stating it would pollute a water body flowing in its vicinity. The HRF said there was no clarity on how the 15,000 tonnes of fly ash generated every day would be disposed of. The project-affected people have demanded government.
