TNPDCL seeks NH nod to reduce power loss in Vadakkalur village

COIMBATORE: The Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) has submitted a proposal to the National Highways Department seeking a no-objection certificate (NOC) to install a twisted electricity cable from the Pasur sub-station to Vadakkalur village in Annur block, Coimbatore district.

At present, the village receives electricity from the Irumborai sub-station, located about 25 km away, resulting in frequent outages and significant power losses. To address these issues, the department has been trying to connect Vadakkalur to the nearer Pasur sub-station. However, objections from the National Highways Department delayed the plan for nearly five years.
