The Yogi Adityanath government has started preparations on a war footing to ensure uninterrupted power supply in summer in the wake of early advent of the season for the convenience of the citizens of the state.
The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation (UPPCL) Chairman M Devaraj has given instructions in this regard to all the DISCOM officials in the state. It is notable that as compared to the previous years, this time summer has started earlier. In February itself, the temperature reached around 31 degree Celsius in the state.
Addressing the DISCOM officials through video conferencing from Shakti Bhawan on Sunday, he said that all necessary preparations should be completed as soon as possible to ensure power supply to all areas of the state as per the fixed schedule, adding that any kind of negligence will not be tolerated in this.
UPPCL Chairman M Devraj said that 251059 transformers have been changed in this financial year to improve the power system. Similarly, 17782 kilometres of AB cable has been installed to prevent electricity theft. Besides, 51550 private tube wells have been classified in this financial year to increase irrigation facilities in the state.
