SUB: Postpone the Public hearing for the proposed expansion of 2*800MW Super Critical coal based Thermal Power Plant “Coastal Energen Pvt.Ltd. scheduled to be held at Thoothukudi Collectorate on 18.03.2011 at 3.30pm.

Respected Sir,

The Thoothukudi District Administration and the TNPCB is conducting a Public hearing for the proposed expansion of 2*800MW Super Critical coal based Thermal Power Plant “Coastal Energen Pvt.Ltd. scheduled to be held at Thoothukudi Collectorate on 18.03.2011 at 3.30pm when the Election Code of Conduct is in Place.

First of all, they violate the Election Code of Conduct.

Secondly, they indirectly help the party which is seeking a Public opinion to get Environmental Clearance through Public Hearing to indulge in malpractices by favouring or bribing people to support their cause.

Thirdly, it makes the affected parties unrest and anxious over the process of seeking the public opinion which might trigger some unwanted incidents.

So, I kindly request you to implement seriously the Election Code of Conduct in thoothukudi and see to that the code of conduct in place.

I humbly request you for the welfare and common good of the people to postpone the Public hearing so as to be held after the election results are declared.

Thank you,

Yours Truly,

M.Pushparayan.

Convener, CPF.
