| Jora inaugurates Receiving Station at Kanachak | | | EARLY TIMES REPORTER
JAMMU, AUGUST 14:
Asserting that the government is committed to improve the power scenario in the stater particularly in remote and far flung areas, the Minister for Power Mr. Nawang Rigzin Jora today said that adequate infrastructure would be made available to provide all essential services including power.
The Minister was addressing a gathering soon after inaugurating 5 MVA, 33/11 KV, Receiving Station at Kanachak here today.
The scheme was started under RE Composite Scheme and has been completed at an estimated cost of Rs.92.3 lakh with 33 KV line length of 9.00 km.
Jora said that the areas including Kanachak, Jhiri, Dabh, Sudhein, Rajpura, Jaswan, Lalyal, Gadla and Simblian is being fed from Purkhoo Receiving Station and the line length of PK-4, 11 KV feed is approx 45 kms. This extra ordinary long line length makes it fault prone and there is acute drop in voltage due to T&D looses. With the commissioning of this Receiving Station the PK-4 feeder will be bifurcated to KC-I and KC-2 which would help to improve power supply to the area’s adjoining Kanachak. The Purkhoo Receiving Station would be relieved from overloading giving relief to Barn Grid also, he added.
Earlier, the Minister convened a review meeting of senior officers of Power Development Department. He took stock of revenue realized during the period and reviewed the progress in metering.
Interacting with the officers, Mr. Jora asked them to gear up their work and put in extra efforts so as to achieve the target. He emphasized for accelerating the process of metering and revenue realization.
Chief Engineer PDD, Mr. D. S. Pawar and senior officers of PDD were present on the occasion. |
