CM Yogi took a class of officers regarding power cuts in UP

Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has decided to send a team of 27 senior officials of the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) to different districts. The development comes two days after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed deep anguish over persistent power outages, amid scorching heat.

The senior officials will act as nodal officers in districts and will regularly monitor the power supply system.

The officers will visit their allotted districts from June 19-21 to check five points (power supply, condition of damaged power and distribution transformers, availability of distribution transformers in workshops, and availability of material in stores).

After analysing and monitoring the status and disposal of complaints related to power supply, they will present their report to UPPCL on June 22.

CM Yogi Adityanath had expressed displeasure over undeclared power cuts and had asked the officials to fix feeder-wise responsibility.

UPPCL chairman M Devraj has now deputed various officers to monitor district wise power situation. These officers also include the managing director and directors. He also asked the officers to assess the action being taken in districts for further improvement in power system.

Localities including Aliganj, Marutipuram, Gomti Nagar, Jankipuram, Nishatganj, Telibagh, IT, Aminabad, Hazratganj and Indira Nagar are facing the electricity outage issues.

Similar situations were faced by people of Gomti Nagar, Gomti Nagar Extension, Aminabad and Aishbagh.
