On a visit to the site of the power plant in Gaddani, Sethi directed that in awarding the contract for land-levelling, a transparent process must be adopted.
Sethi also directed immediate identification of land in order to establish schools, hospitals and technical training to benefit the people residing in the area.
On May 24, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had cleared the decks for two coal-based power plants of 1,320MW at Gaddani Power Park.
The master plan of Gadani Power Park envisages construction of 10 coal-fired power plants, each having capacity of generating 660MW of electricity. It also provides for construction of a jetty, where coal will be unloaded from ships.
The project will have all the required facilities, including cooling plants, conveyer belts, storage facilities and ash disposal mechanism. The plan also envisages connecting the plants with the national grid.
