Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation chairman M Devraj has taken serious note of prolonged power cuts and low voltage in the state capital.
In a letter written to the MD of Madhyanchal Nigam, Anil Dhingra, on Wednesday, Devraj expressed concern over the unannounced power cuts and delay in fault rectification. He directed him to investigate the entire matter and take action against the officials responsible. He also urged increasing the capacity of transformers so that they are not damaged.
With the mercury rising, electricity snapped in many areas of the city on Tuesday due to transformers getting overheated. Some underground cable fault from Nadarganj to Chinhat was also reported. Due to this, consumers had to face a power cut for hours.
