Hyderabad: Construction activities of the Telangana Super Thermal Power Project resumed on Monday after the Peddapalli District Administration gave permission to NTPC following the guidelines issued by the Centre.
The District Administration at a meeting on May 3 decided to give permission for the construction activities of NTPC-Telangana Super Thermal Power Project Phase-I, which was put on hold from March 25, 2020, following nationwide lockdown to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
While restarting the construction activities, NTPC has put in place stringent safety measures for the workers at the project site.
"Construction activities are carried out in a staggered manner in two-shifts to limit the number of people while maintaining social distancing norms at all work sites. The masks have been provided to all workers, employees and CISF personnel and sanitizers are placed at many places," an official release from the power producer said.
Thermal screening and medical checkups are done for those who are entering the workplace while making adequate arrangements for personal hygiene such as hand sanitizers and placement of hand wash facilities at workplaces, NTPC said.
The 1600 MW Telangana Super Thermal Power Project Phase-I is on the fast track towards completion and generation of power with Telangana as a major beneficiary.
