Also responded on service extension controversy
UPCL MD Anil Yadav and Energy Corporation officials have rejected the allegations of corruption. The MD has said that giving service extension is a matter of the state government. The rules for educational qualification, experience and service level and other conditions of the Managing Director and Directors of the three corporations under the Uttarakhand government have been issued in 2021. Under the provisions contained in this rulebook, service extension is given by the state government. Also, the selection for the post of Managing Director and Directors is done for five years. After a tenure of three years, the government gives an extension of two years.
Allegations of 400 crore fraud rejected
At the same time, the MD of UPCL, while presenting his side, said that in the year 2014, after doing B.Tech, his son did a three-month internship in Dehradun. At that time he was posted as the Chief Engineer. He had taken written approval from the then MD to get his son’s internship done. In three months, 40 thousand rupees came in his son’s account, which was not any kind of bribe, but was for the internship. But by exaggerating the 40 thousand rupees, a ruckus is being created about 400 crore fraud and property worth 400 crore.
Anil Yadav said that he did not plead in the High Court in the case of M/s Ishaan, but when this case was in the High Court, he was not MD Pitkul. Also, regarding the quality of 18 transformers of M/s IMP, Anil Yadav says that all these transformers were correct, they were operated in the wrong way. Also, in the matter of the quality of these transformers, IIT Roorkee, CPRI Bangalore have also stated the correctness in their report.
