Responded to Bobby Panwar’s allegations

Let us tell you that the convenor of the Unemployed Union Bobby Panwar also held a press conference in Dehradun and made several allegations against UPCL MD Anil Yadav and raised questions on his extension (service extension). However, UPCL MD Anil Yadav has rejected all the allegations of Bobby Panwar.

He has said that the issues on which questions are being raised against him are baseless. All the allegations being leveled against him are from the time of his tenure as MD in Pitkul (Power Transmission Corporation of Uttarakhand Limited), which the government says is wrong.

Also responded on service extension controversy

UPCL MD Anil Yadav and Energy Corporation officials have rejected the allegations of corruption. The MD has said that giving service extension is a matter of the state government. The manual for educational qualification, experience and service level and other conditions of the Managing Director and Directors of the three corporations under the Uttarakhand government has been issued in 2021. Under the provisions contained in this manual, service extension is given by the state government. Also, the selection for the post of Managing Director and Directors is done for five years. After a tenure of three years, the government gives an extension of two years.

Allegations of Rs 400 crore fraud rejected

At the same time, the MD of UPCL, while presenting his side, said that in the year 2014, his son did a three-month internship in Dehradun after doing B.Tech. At that time he was posted as Chief Engineer. He had taken written approval from the then MD to get his son an internship. In three months, 40 thousand rupees had come into his son’s account, which was not any kind of bribe, but was for the internship. But by exaggerating the 40 thousand rupees, a ruckus is being created about 400 crores of fraud and 400 crores of property.

Anil Yadav said that he did not plead in the High Court in the case of M/s Ishaan, but when this case was in the High Court, he was not MD Pitkul. Also, regarding the quality of 18 transformers of M/s IMP, Anil Yadav says that all these transformers were correct, they were operated in the wrong way. Also, in the matter of quality of these transformers, IIT Roorkee, CPRI Bangalore have also stated the correctness in their report. The 18 transformers purchased from IMP company between 2014 and 2016, which are being questioned, are still working properly.
