Load-shedding rescheduled to today and Friday

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.
