Mahagenco files police complaint against coal washery operators

By

  • The washery operators were engaged to wash and minimize the ash content in coal received from Western Coalfields Limited, South Eastern Coalfields Limited, Mahanadi Coalfields Limited 

By Dheeraj Fartode
Accusing coal washery operators with embezzeling 6.16 lakh metric tonne coal worth Rs 122 crore, Maharashtra State Power Generatioon Company Limited (MSPGC) has filed a complaint with Sadar police against six operators requesting to register offence against them for criminal breach of trust, forgery, cheating and fraud. 
According to Mahagenco, the washery operators were engaged to wash and minimize the ash content in coal received from Western Coalfields Limited, South Eastern Coalfields Limited, Mahanadi Coalfields Limited and the alleged discrepancy took place during 2009 to 2011. The contract with washery operators was terminated in August 2012 and their bank guarantee was confiscated. It was followed by long and bitter legal proceedings between Mahagenco and washery operators and matter is pending before the Supreme Court. 
Mahagenco claimed that operators did not supply the recoup quantity of coal to the tune of 5.64 lakh metric tonne and balance quantity of raw coal lying with operators to the tune of 52,454 MT due to non-fulfillment of required parameters and as such 6.16 lakh MT tonne coal belonging to Mahagenco tantamount to various offences. 
The Mahagenco has named M/s Gupta Coalfields and &Washeries Ltd, Nagpur; M/s ACB (India) Ltd formerly M/s Aryan Coal & Benefication Pvt Ltd; M/s Indo Unique Flame Ltd, Nagpur; M/s Bhatia International Ltd, Indore and Nagpur; M/s Spectrum Coal&Power Ltd, New Delhi and Hyderabad; M/s Global Coal &Mining Pvt Ltd, Gurgaon in the complaint. The Mahagenco has given bifurcation of coal lifted by each of the washery operator from three coal utilities, actual coal supplied and balanced raw coal not liquidated to substantiate its allegations. 
Mahagenco alleged that washery operators have not come forward to sign the joint reconciliation statement and also failed to liquidate the raw coal stock holding with them and thus they have cheated Mahagenco and State of Maharashtra. The complainant claimed that washery operators lifted more quantity and supplied less than the agreed recoup quantity and one-sided calculations were done by Mahagenco in May 2012 and later decision to encash bank guarantee of washery operators was taken. Sadar Police has registered the complaint but yet to file FIR against non-applicants named in the criminal complaint filed by Mahagenco on Saturday.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is...
