Hope & poser in JBVNL power-firm switch

Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd (JBVNL) consumers living in Jamshedpur and adjoining areas can hope for better power supply as the JBVNL’s Singhbhum electricity supply area board has replaced the existing outsourced agency, Quess Corporation Ltd, with a new one.

The new agency, Geetraj Engineering Enterprises Pvt Ltd (GEEPL), which is working for the JBVNL in Seraikela, Chaibasa and Chakradharpur divisions, has been entrusted to work under Jamshedpur and Mango divisions also.

But what seems to be a deviation in appointing the GEEPL for the Jamshedpur and Mango divisions is that the Singhbhum electricity supply area board did not float any tender and engaged the new agency by issuing an order.
