Jammu, July 2: Office bearers of Chamber of Commerce and Industry headed by President Rakesh Gupta called on the Chief Engineer Electric Maintenance & RE Sahnaz Goni and urged her to stop power curtailment during peak hours.
The office bearers apprised Chief Engineer about the problems being faced by the people of Jammu in general and the business community in particular due to erratic power supply during this hot and humid season which has made the life of the people miserable.
Rakesh Gupta asked the Chief Engineer that there should be no power cuts especially in the evening from 6 PM to 9 PM which were also necessary for the promotion of business as well as from the security point of view
It was also brought into the notice of the Chief Engineer that the traders of Warehouse which was the business hub were facing acute shortage of power on account of unscheduled power cuts in the area and they were unable to carry on their day to day business. The delegation also apprised the Chief Engineer about the problems being faced by the Industries of Akhnoor Road Area. The Chief Engineer informed the delegation that that there were no scheduled power cuts at present in the areas where 100% metering has been completed. However on some occasion the feeders in some areas were over loaded due to which the unscheduled cuts become necessary in the areas being supplied power from those feeders.
Goni also assured the delegation that it will be ensured that there will be no power cuts during working hours in Warehouse.
Regarding the continuous power supply to the industries on Akhnoor road, Goni assured that within two or three days the problem will also be solved. She also informed that M/s Ircon has been allotted works under RAPDRP for which centre Govt. has provided funds for improvement of electric infrastructure in the state and within next two to three months the new transformers and cables will be installed and after that there will be no power cuts. |
