Preparation of power supply for Chhath Puja
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh government is active in ensuring 24-hour uninterrupted power supply on the occasion of Chhath Puja after Diwali.
The government's priority is to provide safe and reliable electricity to all consumers during the festival season. For this, Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has started working in alert mode.
Instructions have been given to ensure adequate lighting arrangements at Chhath Puja ghats, so that the devotees do not have to face any kind of inconvenience.
Principal Secretary Energy and UPPCL Chairman Ranbir Prasad has instructed all concerned officials to maintain uninterrupted power supply. He has asked the Managing Directors and Chief Engineers of Discoms to ensure cut-free power supply.
Officials have also been directed to immediately clear local power interruptions, ensure availability of repair gangs and essential materials.
Ranbir Prasad has given instructions for regular patrolling, checking the load of transformers and feeders as well as fixing loose wires and bent electricity poles, so that any accident at places of worship can be avoided.
To keep the power system strong, departmental teams are continuously carrying out maintenance and upkeep work in all the discoms of Purvanchal, Madhyanchal and Paschimanchal.
Regular inspection of power lines, transformers and other equipment is being done. Where necessary, potential technical problems are being resolved in a timely manner through repairs and maintenance.
The state government considers the role of deployed electricians as important in providing safe and uninterrupted electricity to consumers. Departmental teams are fully engaged in everything from maintenance of power lines to resolution of consumer complaints.
Along with this, various works are being carried out at a rapid pace under the Reorganized Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) to modernize and strengthen the electricity infrastructure in the state. The aim of the Yogi government is to ensure quality electricity supply in every area of the state by developing a better electricity network.
