GANGTOK, 16 Apr: The EHV/SLDC Circle
of Energy & Power Department had announced a load-shedding in the North and
East districts today and 17 April. However, the power outage could not be
undertaken today due to some technical reasons and will take place on 18 April,
the DM-East informs. As things stand then, the load-shedding will be undertaken
on 17 and 18 April now.
The department had earlier announced
that the power outage would take place on 16 and 17 April from 8:00 AM to 3:30
PM in the entire North and East district (except Rangpo) to allow the setting
up of the LILO of 400 KV Teesta V-Siliguri DC Transmission Line at Rangpo G.I.S
executed by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL).
The timing [8 to 3:30] remains
unchanged and the power cut will happen instead on Thursday and Friday.
Meanwhile, there was a power outage
in some parts of Gangtok today which according to the District Magistrate, East
Gangtok, was due to a local problem in the Sichey transformer line and has
nothing to do with the Grid shut down.
