Cabinet decides to seek fresh MoAs on 4 hydel projects

SHILLONG: Bowing to prolonged public outcry, the MPA Cabinet on Thursday abrogated two major deals on three power projects that, it said, were inked by the former Congress-led Government with different private firms in violation of the State Power Policy. The government also decided to go for fresh MoAs with the other parties on four hydel power projects.

The deals scrapped by the government include those entered into with Athena Project Private Limited on Kynshi Stage I and Jay Pee Group on Umngot and Kynshi Stage II.
