Following the aim of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath,
the Uttar Pradesh Government is making arrangements to provide uninterrupted
power supply to people across the State during the upcoming festivals of
Dussehra, Dhanteras, and Diwali.
The department has issued the necessary directives to
the concerned officers and Discoms to ensure this.
Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Chairman Dr Ashish
Kumar Goyal has said, “Uninterrupted electricity supply to Uttar Pradesh will be
ensured on the occasion of these major festivals.”
He mentioned that for the ongoing Navratri festival,
stringent directives have been issued to improve electricity supply across the State
and to ensure that all areas receive electricity as per the fixed schedule.
The officials responsible for electricity distribution
have been instructed to maintain an uninterrupted power supply from sunset to
sunrise.
Managing directors of Discoms, chief engineers, and
officials of the Electricity Corporation have been specifically instructed to
ensure electricity supply to Shakti Peethas and religious places according to
the prescribed schedule during Navratri, in line with the State Government’s
objectives.
Furthermore, officials are urged to exercise vigilance
in their respective areas and promptly address any disruptions in electricity
supply at the local level to minimize inconveniences, he added.
The chairman emphasized the importance of taking all
necessary precautionary measures, particularly in addressing issues such as
dilapidated or hanging wires and cables, and addressing complaints related to
voltage fluctuations and low voltage.
In the event of unexpected power breakdowns, it was
advised to proactively organize an adequate number of repair teams to restore
power supply. Additionally, complaints received through toll-free numbers
should also be resolved promptly.
Instructions were issued to set up special control
rooms at both the Discom and district levels to ensure that all arrangements
are made for uninterrupted power supply.
Furthermore, it was directed that in areas where
processions or gatherings for idol immersion are anticipated, officers should
conduct on-site inspections to enhance the entire electrical system, thus
minimizing the risk of electrical accidents and ensuring a safe environment for
public events, he further informed.
