Make 100-day plan to improve power supply, minister to UPPCL

LUCKNOW Energy minister AK Sharma on Tuesday asked UP Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) officials to chalk out a 100-day action plan to further improve power supply in the state. He also asked them to make preparations to deal with the summer load.

After his appointment as minister last week, this was Sharma’s first meeting with officials at the Shakti Bhawan here.

“Make an action plan for three months to improve power supply and increase revenue collection by plugging in line losses and controlling power theft,” the minister directed officials.

As electricity load was sure to increase in the days to come, the minister asked officials to make prior preparations to deal with the situation so that people do not have to face power cuts.
