Chhattisgarh State Transmission Company has achieved another feat in the direction of making the State transmission system advanced and developed. The company has started the Bhanupratappur-Kanker high-tension line under Jagadalpur area functional. The area comes under Maoists hotbed.
According to a company press statement issued here on Sunday, with the function of the 40-kilometer long double circuit new line, along with ending the low-voltage problem of the area, transmission loss would also be lessened. The double circuit line has been made functional in the presence of managing director of the company Vijay Singh and other senior officers.
Managing director Vijay Singh said that the cost of the newly constructed transmission line was about Rs 14 crore. Through this line the areas of Kanker and Bhanupratappur would get the benefit of regulated electricity supply, besides lessening the possibility of power disturbance, he added. He said that the company has been on the march towards continuous progress as far as developing the State’s transmission system. During the formation of the State, the number of high-tension sub stations was only 27, which was increased to 81 at present.
Similarly, the transmission company has brought fastness in the construction of high-tension lines, resulting in the increase in circuit kilometer of high-tension line length from 5205 to 9792. This has been made one of the strong bases of the prosperity of the State.
