Several areas serviced by Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam (JBVNL), including Mango, Jugsalai and Chhota Govindpur, faced power crisis on Friday due to short supply from the state load despatch centre.
Over a lakh residents of Mango experienced erratic power supply from morning as the power substation at Kuar Basti and Dimna are getting a meagre supply. There was no power from 9am to 11am in places like Zakirnagar, Daiguttu, Dimna Road and the area around Payal Cinema and Post Office Road.
“Both Golmuri and Gamharia power grid substations are getting inadequate power from state load despatch and this is causing power crisis,” said a senior official of JBVNL’s Singhbhum electricity supply.
