With installation of the new lDC the management of power transmission could now be done in emergency situation. All the power transmission lines in the country have been integrated with a single grid and for monitoring of it the Chhattisgarh state had now developed two lDCs, it informed.
The second lDC as a backup centre was successfully initiated in Khedamara on Tuesday. The new lDC would ensure uninterrupted power supply in case of natural calamities too.
A total of 11, 556 circuit kilometers of high tension lines are laid for power transmission all over the state and in a bid to maintain effective flow of current lDCs are established.
