Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who also handles the portfolios of Finance and Energy, has instructed the authorities of Telangana Power Generation Corporation Ltd (TG-Genco) to commence power generation in all five units of 5×800 megawatt super-critical Yadadri Thermal Power Station (YTPS) by March next.

Authorities of Genco brought to the Minister’s notice that some of its officers and staff were suffering from fever due to mosquito menace resulting in delay in the progress of works. Responding immediately, the Deputy CM said welfare of staff was of top priority to the government and directed the authorities concerned to organise a medical camp immediately and take measures to control mosquito menace with regular fogging operations and supply of mosquito nets.
Mr. Vikramarka instructed the authorities concerned to submit a report on the proposed four-lane road between Thalla Veerappagudem and Damaracherla to connect the power plant location near Veerlapalem village for transportation of fly ash generated in the power project. He wanted the authorities to invite tenders for the construction of residential quarters without much delay to enable officers and staff to stay locally.
He told them to provide a special bus facility for commuting of officers and staff from Damaracherla and Miryalaguda until the quarters were constructed.
