Trilochanpur power feeder big relief to villagers

The 33/11-KV power substation at Trilochanpur in Jagatsinghpur district has been able to put an end to electricity supply-related woes of more than 5,500 villagers belonging to multiple villages in the locality.

This substation has three feeders at Dhinkia, Shandhakud and Tilochanpur to ensure proper electricity supply to nearly 20 villages. Earlier, power supply to these villages was managed from the Kujang substation, 30 km away from this locality.

Sharing his experience, Pralay Biswal, a Dhinkia villager, said, “Earlier when we were provided electricity from Kujang feeder, for most part of the day we were struggling due to low voltage or complete outage. With the Trilochanpur feeder becoming operational, power supply has been good. We are really happy now with the present situation.”
