NCP to be blamed

Sir, - Mr. Prem Shankar Jha's article `Dabhol and the do nothing Government' (Oct. 16) is interesting. The blame for the present situation should squarely rest on the NCP Government in Maharashtra. The Congress, to square points with Mr. Pawar, has created problems in implementing the second phase.

With 90 per cent work complete, it is not in the national interest to give it up at this stage. It is time the Prime Minister devoted some attention to resolving the issue.

The Centre should ask the NTPC to take over the responsibility of running this unit by providing financial help. The Government should sit with the DPC and settle for a final takeover and finish the work and start generating power.
