Kasargod: The CPM has come out against the proposed thermal power project in Cheemeni. CPM Kasargod district secretary KP Satheesh Chandran said that the announcement by Union minister of state for Energy KC Venugopal that the thermal plant would function using coal, couldn't be accepted.He said the project would result in serious environmental issues and the party would stand with the people against this.
KC Venugopal said that more importance must be given to Cheemeni project than Athirapilly for which environmental clearance was denied.
But the previous LDF government had planned to implement Cheemeni project which would produce 1300-megawatt electricity. The plan was to bring coal from Orissa. Later the government decided to use natural gas from the gas pipeline in Kochi.
The gas pipeline grid is expected to be functioning from 2013 for transporting LNG from Kochi to Coimbatore via Bangalore and then from Kochi to Mangalore directly. A special company was also formed by KSIDC and KSEB with 50 % share each.
