Power snarls hit locals in Kalahandi

BHAWANIPATNA: Unscheduled and frequent power cuts have thrown life out of gear for denizens across Kalahandi district. As per information available, there’s availability of 80-85 MV power from the Thiruvali grid by TP Western Odisha Distribution Limited (TPWODL) as against the requirement of 110 MV. The installation of a 220 KV power line from Balangir is underway which is likely to ease the supply crisis.

Sources said since last fortnight, there is power disruption for 4 to 5 hours on an average on daily basis during day and night hours affecting daily life. Locals have alleged that the discom authorities are tight-lipped about the situation.
