Uttar Pradesh minister for energy and urban development AK Sharma has directed officials of Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (LESA) to use advanced technology to ensure uninterrupted power supply in VVIP areas of the city.
He blasted the officials for not using technology and instead getting used to practising easy shutdowns which causes problems to a large number of people.
The minister was upset due to intermittent power outages in the Mantri Awas Gomti Nagar, areas like Vikramaditya Marg, Raj Bhawan, Dilkusha, Gautampalli, Gomti Nagar, and Vibhuti Khand. He conducted a surprise inspection of Vibhuti Khand substation on Thursday evening to find the reasons behind frequent power cuts in the homes of ministers and VVIPs.
