JAMMU, Aug 28: Power Development Department has joined hands with the common masses in order to create loss free feeders and the efforts have started yielding positive results in the short span of time.
The Electric and Maintenance & RE Division-III in the month of June this year, after consultation with the public of Gopi Nath Vihar Udheywala, started drive to ensure power theft free environment.
Under this initiative, all the officers as well as JEs and meter readers of ED -III were geared up to have one to one interaction with the consumers so as to sort out various issues pertaining to erroneous electricity billing and frequent power interruptions. The Department also removed illegal connections besides making people aware of the judicious use of electricity by way of using various energy efficient techniques.
The efforts of the department as well as public resulted in heavy load reduction thereby making the system adequate to supply uninterrupted power to the residents of the Udheywala area. Likewise to create another loss free feeder and to eradicate the menace of power theft, the Exective Engineer, ED-III, Sanjay Sharma held a meeting with the residents of Roop Nagar, who agreed to extend all cooperation to the department in eradicating the menace of power theft.
It has come to the fore during the meetings that though the people had voluntarily revised their agreement load sometime back but proportional benefit has not been provided to them in terms of system augmentation/improvement. The people were assured that if they continue to extend their support to the department in the same manner the existing system will be quiet adequate to meet their demand.
People have also suggested formulation of comprehensive report for laying of cables and other improvement measures in the congested and theft prone areas.
