The city’s outer areas can finally expect reliable power supply as Bescom plans to implement the Distribution Automation System (DAS) there soon.
Bescom sources said the power utility agency was in the final stages of awarding tenders and the work would begin in the next two months.
“Without DAS, our linemen have to physically inspect an entire stretch of the network to identify where there is a breakdown and then fix it. DAS enables us to remotely monitor the system and identify the faulty segment or location,” a senior Bescom official explained.
