Singtam public rues over disrupted power supply


GANGTOK, 23 Feb: The people of Shantinagar in Singtam have expressed their dissatisfaction over the irregular power supply for the past 6 months.  Power supply in the area is disrupted every 20 to 25 minutes which is posing a problem for students preparing for their upcoming examination, complained the public. The people have also expressed that even after making several complaints to the Power Department the problem remains.
Power officials clarified that the transformer and LT lines in Singtam, set up around 20 years ago according to the requirements of the time, have become old and get heated up resulting in disrupted supply at short intervals. The Power Office at Topa has already processed the file for the same to the head office at Gangtok, officials informed.
It is learnt that as per the present population of Shantinagar, an additional 150 KB sub-station is required and 11 KB line in 400 meters is needed for regular power supply. [from NANDU DUTRAJ]
