JAMMU, June 28: Chairman NC Trade and Industry Wing, Vikram Puri today raised serious concern over the power curtailment in Samba Industrial SIDCO phases and other areas.
In this regard, Vikram Puri took a round to the Samba industrial SIDCO phases.
During his visit, Puri met with various industrialists and took a first hand of their problems they are facing due to frequently power curtailment.
During discussion, members present there raised serious concern towards the prolonged and frequent unscheduled power cuts in the supply of Power to Industrial units, since last few days, resulting in huge financial losses reported by the Member units working in Industrial hub. In spite of the fact that Department is collecting annual revenues from the Industrialists there.
Moreover, it was intimated by the PDD officials that the Distribution Transformers of Grid Station also heat-up resulting tripping in frequent Power supply to Industrial Units inspite of the fact that the Department has spent crores of rupees for the up-gradation of Grid Station in the past. It is feared that the position may get worse in coming days due to rising of temperature as the Department has failed to take preventive measures to avoid the disruption in Power Supply during summer season.
This shows the lack of coordination between the Departments handling the Power Supply to Industrial Units resulting Industrial Units suffering very badly and their production always depends upon the mercy of the Grid and System and Operation Wing of the Power Development Department.
