With PESCO focusing on the recovery of dues and filling vacancies, issues related to the power supply would be addressed by upgrading transmission lines and transformers to overcome the problems of low voltage and power outages.

An official of PESCO briefed that the grid station will be energised in two days as work in this regard was still in progress. With a pledge to overcome arrears in the area, PESCO will also replace the old and rusted poles and transmission lines for safe and secure power supply.
