Early Times Report

DODA, Feb 2: Residents of District Doda can anticipate a significant improvement in the power supply as the Revamped/ Reformed Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) shall replace 719Km barbed/ damaged wire, poles, and other equipments/ machinery with the latest and improved infrastructure.
The information was given by District Development Commissioner Harvinder Singh while discussing the rollout of RDSS in the District. It was also informed that a new 132KV Ramban-Khellani-Kishtwar transmission line, slated to be commissioned shortly by the government, promises to alleviate the strain on existing infrastructure and enhance overall reliability. It was estimated that a 33% augmentation is expected in the capacity of overall power supply to the district by the new transmission line.
Currently, the region relies heavily on the 132KV Single DHP line from the Udhampur Grid station for power supply, with the 132/33KV Grid Substation Khellani serving as a critical node. However, with the impending commissioning of the Ramban-Khellani-Kishtwar line, an additional source of power will become available, complementing the existing Dul Hasti Transmission line.
The introduction of this new transmission line is poised to augment the capacity, providing much-needed relief to the District. This expansion in capacity is expected to mitigate longstanding issues related to power shortage and ensure more stable electricity access for residents and businesses alike.
Rupees 86.28 crores have been earmarked by the government to augment the power distribution system of the district under RDSS, for which a detailed project, after thorough deliberations, has been submitted to the concerned authorities for early approval.
Moreover, the completion of the Ramban-Khellani-Kishtwar line signifies a proactive approach to address challenges such as right-of-way (ROW) issues raised by the Power Grid Corporation Ltd.
By rerouting certain lines and resolving logistical hurdles, authorities are demonstrating a commitment towards improving infrastructure and meeting the growing energy demands of the region.
In light of these developments, stakeholders in District Doda are eagerly awaiting the improvement in the power distribution system and inauguration of the new transmission line. The enhanced power supply infrastructure is poised to stimulate economic growth, enhance quality of life, and foster greater resilience in the face of future energy challenges. With the promise of a more robust and reliable electrical grid, residents can look forward to brighter prospects ahead.
