ISLAMABAD: Senate Standing Committee on Power is all set to discuss two major scandals of power projects being undertaken by National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) with the funding of World Bank and Asia Development Bank.

The officials of NTDC and NESPAK have already acknowledged before the committee that the World Bank has issued “No Objection Letters” (NOLs) to DASU transmission line project along with minor discrepancies. Likewise, another project being funded by the ADB also has “discrepancies” which have been highlighted by the NESPAK.

Senator, SaifUllah Abro, had been removed from the position of chairman as the declared contracts of both projects were “doubtful” and directed Power Division to re-tender them.
