Violent Protests in Delhi Over Power Outages

Further, they have been directed to increase the number of their mobile teams to constantly monitor the status of their distribution transformers all over the city, so that local faults can be addressed in real-time.

Officials said BSES, which supplies power in around 70 per cent areas, is upgrading its complaint centres and has already inducted about 60 additional staff.

"If load-shedding was inevitable due to transmission or distribution constraints, then the discoms have been told to restrict it to one hour at best on rotational basis," the officials said.

The discoms have also been directed to immediately replace all their vulnerable or faulty lines.

Giving details of repair of the damaged transmission lines, the officials said the Shalimar Bagh - Wazirpur 220 KV line will be ready by June 16.

They said though the Bawana - Rohini 220 KV line has been restored through Emergency Restoration System (ERS) it will take some more time to repair the damaged towers.

Similarly, work on permanent restoration of the Bamnauli - Pappan Kalan 220 KV Line has started though it was made functional through ERS.

The restoration work are underway for restoration of the Dadri-Loni-Harsh Vihar Line (400 KV), Mandola - Gopalpur 220 KV Line, the Maharani Bagh - Ghazipur 220 KV line, Badarpur - Ghazipur line and Maharani Bagh - Trauma Center Line.

Officials said that for the convenience of the citizens, all the planned outages and load shedding schedules of the discoms will be released in advance and will be available on their websites.

The load-shedding schedule of the discoms will be updated at 8 am daily.
