To keep a check on theft and contain line losses in the State, Haryana Government has decided that feeders having transmission and distribution losses of less than 20 per cent will be supplied 24-hour power supply in the state.
Panchkula being the first to achieve this distinction, 24-hour uninterrupted electricity will be supplied in the district, said Chief Minister, Manohar lal, while presiding over a meeting of Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associates (CMGGA) in New Delhi.
The CMGGA presented feedback on various programmes in their respective districts to the Chief Minister.
Manohar lal said that a number of initiatives had been taken to improve power distribution and transmission network in the state. Because of these initiatives, it is for the first time that DHBVNl has earned profit for which the Union Minister of State for Power, Piyush Goyal, has congratulated the state, he said.
Apart from effecting improvement in supply, stern action is being taken to prevent theft of electricity and against those obstructing government operations. In this regard, FIR has been lodged against 43 people of village Raseedan in Jind district on the charges of manhandling officials on duty and putting obstruction in their work, said he.
The Chief Minister said that commendable work has been done in the field of improving the distribution and transmission network in Ambala district where 24-hour power supply would be ensured after Panchkula.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister inquired about the functioning of CM window, e-disha centres, common service centres and other government schemes from CMGGA. He also inquired about the benefits being availed by the stakeholders in Gram Sachivalyaas.
Manohar lal said the State Government is adding new features by expanding the services being provided through CSCs and e-disha centres. Besides, the process of vehicle registration, issuance of driver's license, vehicle fitness certification and other services are also being improved.
