Amritsar, June 22

In order to ensure an 8-hour power supply to farmers during the paddy season, chief engineer of border zone Skattar Singh Dhillon, along with other officials of the Powercom, visited different power substations in the Beas area on Monday. They visited 220kV substation at Butari and discussed ways to deload 66kV lines which were overloaded and were often resulting in power disruptions. Speaking on the occasion, Dhillon said the officials also visited the newly-constructed 66kV Butari Beas Line, which would be connected with 66kV power substation at Liddar village road. This line has been feeding four 66kv substations at Bead, Lidhar, Sathiala and Butala. — TNS
