Holidays of electricity workers and officers canceled in view of Diwali
Lakhimpur: At present, 24-hour electricity is available in the urban area, but maintaining the electricity supply is a big challenge for the authorities. However, due to low load, officials have little hope of disruption in power supply. At present, in view of Diwali, the leaves of all the employees and officers of the electricity department have been cancelled.
In view of Diwali, the electricity department is claiming to be fully prepared. Executive Engineer Shailendra Singh said that although the district headquarters is getting electricity 24 hours a day, to ensure that this system continues uninterrupted, eight mobile transformers of 400 KVA have been ordered separately. If any transformer blows, it will be replaced immediately.
Arrangements for AB cable, line conductor, insulator have also been made. A separate control room has been made at every sub-station. A team of four employees will be deployed at every sub-station, who will immediately reach the spot on receiving information and restore the interrupted supply. The work of pruning trees on the roads has been completed to protect the power lines from breakage.
Officials say that about 65 percent of the work under improvement in the urban area has been completed. Due to new cables being laid, the risk of them breaking is negligible, but still maintenance work has been done and instructions have been given for patrolling where the lines have not been changed. XEN says that replacement transformers have been installed and now there is not a single transformer pending. XEN also said that leaves of employees and officers have been cancelled, if anyone is found missing from duty, action will be taken against him.
