Dibrugarh, May 29 : The Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Ltd (BCPL) today said the gas cracker project was on track and that it would be completed within the stipulated timeframe.
The chairman and managing director of BCPL, U.D. Choubey, today told the media that a major portion of land required for the project have already been acquired.
Of the 3,030 bighas earmarked for the project, the Dibrugarh district administration has handed over most of the land to the BCPL, barring a 300-bigha-plot.
“We expect that the remaining minor portion of land, which in no way is hampering construction activities at the project, would be handed over to us by the local administration within a very short period of time,” Choubey added.
“We have also obtained necessary environmental clearance from both the central and the state government agencies. Most important, the agreements for supply of feedstock from Oil India Ltd, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd and the Numaligarh Refinery Ltd are already in place and, therefore, there should not be any doubt about the project being delayed,” he said. He kicked off the fencing work on the project site.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had laid the foundation stone for the project at Lepetkata in Dibrugarh district on April 9 last year.
Dibrugarh additional deputy commissioner Nareswar Upadhaya said the administration had made provisions for rehabilitation of 66 families displaced by the project.
Compensation of around Rs 47 crore had been disbursed till now.
