‘Urjagiri’, a special campaign to prevent line loss and power thefts in Uttarakhand got started on the 150th birth anniversary for father of nation Mahatma Gandhi on Wednesday. Initiating the campaign at his residence, the Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said that the efforts for preventing power thefts should be intensified.
He said that the distribution losses have been curtailed to 14.32 percent from 29.52 at the time of creation of the state. Rawat said that these losses should now be brought down to 13 percent.
Reiterating the commitment of his government to prevent power losses, he said that it is the duty of employees and officers of power corporations to prevent these losses so that the honest users are not overloaded with tariffs. The CM also directed that the vigilance cell of the UPCL should be strengthened to prevent power losses.
