Transfer of power projects test of credibility of Centre, J&K 3/30/2015 11:15:55 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Mar 30: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today termed the transfer of NHPC-run Dulhasti and Uri power projects to the state government as a test of credibility of both the governments. "It is the test of our credibility as well as the credibility of the central government as they have promised us this. Whatsoever be the procedures, these power projects shall be transferred to the state," Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed told the Assembly. Referring to unemployment among educated youth, he said they would be provided gainful employment in the government sector by filling up all vacancies. "We will establish a training institute in Chenab valley to provide training to skilled youth to increase their chances of employability, particularly in the power projects," he said. Asking the administration to ensure probity in day-to-day working, Mufti announced making State Vigilance Commission and the State Accountability Commission effective regulatory tools of probity. He also announced enactment of a Single Window Clearance Act to provide approvals to the stakeholders under one platform. "A new Transfer Policy will also be put in place to provide security of tenure to government employees. We will ensure that the Public Services Guarantee Act is further strengthened to address the concerns of poor and downtrodden," he said. Attacking the previous NC-Congress government of delaying the holding of civic body elections, Sayeed said the government will hold the polls so that funds are accessed from the Centre in schemes sponsored by it.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
