MARGAO: Dusty desks and computers and a messy situation welcomed Power Minister Nilesh Cabral to the Aquem Power House on his first surprise visit to the department office here on Wednesday.
An infuriated Cabral questioned the concerned power officials whether they turn a blind eye to mess and dust back at their homes.
The visit caught the officials and staff by surprise as Cabral stepped into the Aquem Power House on Wednesday morning.
As he entered the MRT section, he came across a messy situation leading him to yell at the officials and staff whether they allow such things to happen at their homes and further demanded to know whether instructions were ever issued to the NMR workers to clean up the place.
He was seen questioning an official to prove a point or two since the desks inside were all dusty.
The Power Minister later took a round of the stores and saw for himself the scrap worth lakhs of rupees lying at the Aquem power house.
Later speaking to the media, he said, “All are working and our effort is that they should put in good work. I have visited the meter testing section and I have now decided to focus on the stores which has been lying defunct.”
