He said it is imperative that Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan is to be implemented by the power project authorities before starting the work while in case of Rattle Project this procedure was totally ignored. He said 275 families affected with the construction of the project are running from pillar to post for compensation but to no avail as nobody in the project administration is going to listen to them.
