Power supply to seven Jharkhand districts falling in the command area of the Damodar Valley Corporation became normal on Saturday after the region faced prolonged power cuts for over two and a half months.
The development came after the DVC withdrew regulation of power (read prolonged outage) to the Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL) that buys power from the DVC for supplying to those seven districts that became effective from midnight of January 28-29.
The DVC had imposed power cuts for up to 12 hours every day in those seven districts — Dhanbad, Bokaro, Ramgarh, Hazaribagh, Chatra, Giridih and Koderma — since early November as its arrear dues from the state-run JBVNL was not fully cleared.
