State discom promises steady power supply during Diwali
Areas served by Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam (JBVNL) can look forward to a bright Diwali as the state-run power distributor will start an on-call electrician facility to attend to faults immediately.
The JBVNL’s Singhbhum electricity supply, which covers three districts of Kolhan – East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum and Seraikela-Kharsawan _ will introduce “electrician-on-call” service in command areas on Diwali on November 14.
Officials of JBVNL, that has over 7 lakh consumers in the Kolhan region, decided on the service at a meeting here on Saturday.
“A 24/7 control room will also be set-up at Adityapur and Karandih for attending emergency calls made by consumers. The control room helpline numbers will become active a day prior to the festival,” said Sanjay Mahto, a junior engineer who looks after JBVNL’s Mango division.
