Port Blair, Mar 22: Mr. Manojit Halder, the Pradhan of Gram Panchayat Hari Nagar, recently met with Mr. Karuna Jaydhar, the Superintendent Engineer of the Electricity Department, to discuss the low voltage problems and power supply issues that have been plaguing the villages of Pinakinagar Ward No-1 and Harinagar for a long time.
Mr. Halder pointed out that the residents of Hari Nagar have been facing numerous hardships due to the low voltage problems in the area. The situation has become unbearable, adversely affecting the lives of the villagers. The low voltage has made it challenging to carry out basic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and other household chores. Furthermore, streetlights have not been functioning smoothly during peak hours, posing safety risks.
He added that the persistent power supply issues have also taken a toll on businesses and industries in the area, leading to significant losses. It has become apparent that the existing infrastructure cannot handle the increasing electricity demands of the area. The Pradhan has requested the installation of new power distribution transformers, one each in Pinakinagar Ward No-1 and Harinagar, to resolve the problems faced by the villagers. These transformers will help increase the voltage and provide a more stable power supply to the villagers.
After patiently hearing the grievances presented by Mr. Halder, the Superintendent Engineer of the Electricity Department has reportedly assured the Pradhan that the issue would be addressed on a priority basis. Mr. Manojit Halder expressed his gratitude to Mr. Karuna Jaydhar for taking the time out of his busy schedule to discuss the matter and listen to the concerns of the villagers.
