Scam behind Norochcholai coal supply tender?

 

 Whilst highlighting a serious scam with regard to the awarding of tender pertaining to supply of coal to Norochcholai power plant, the Frontline Socialist Party yesterday urged President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to carry out a probe on it.

FLSP Secretary Pubudu Jayagoda told media that calling for tenders for the supply of coal to the power plant has been delayed in 2025 to enable Trident Chemphar to register as an official coal supplier. The usual practice has been the completion of tenders for supplying of coal by February each year.

Also, it was alleged that the company has not fulfilled the standard criteria of experience in supplying coal. The owner of the company has been alleged to have involved in money laundering in New Delhi India.

We call upon the Government and the President to carry out a probe on the awarding of coal power supplying tender.
