The Smart Grid project for improved electricity supply in the city has finally got off the ground with the commissioning of five underground feeders by the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) last week. All the overhead electricity wires/lines of these five feeders will be dismantled by the DHBVN by the end of this week, officials said.
The five commissioned feeders are CR1, CR 2, PR11, Gupta Developers and K Ganesh—the first two feeders (CR 1 and 2) cover sectors 31-45 while the three others cover sectors 1 to 23.
RS Yadav, resident, Sector 40, said, “We have no idea about the commissioning of feeders, as we do not see any changes in transformers and overhead wires, which still exist. However, electricity supply has been relatively better for the past five or six days.”
