Lko gears up for shift to vertical power system from Nov 1

Preparations are in full swing for the launch of Vertical Power Management System here on November 1. While officials claimed that the reform will streamline operations and improve efficiency, some say the lack of publicity and public communication has left 14 lakh electricity consumers unaware and unprepared.

Vidyut Karmchari Sanyukta Sangharsh Samiti chairman Shailendra Dubey claimed that the proposal for the vertical power management system was drafted by private companies and would be implemented without consulting stakeholders.
