Energy Minister Pradhuman Singh Tomar was receiving frequent complaints of power interruption and tripping through various means in the month of June. Therefore, the Minister of Energy himself observed the ground reality and found that the transformers and lines are getting faulted due to coming in contact with trees, vines and other plants. Due to this tripping is increasing and there is dissatisfaction among the consumers due to power interruption.
After cleaning himself at a place in Gwalior, Minister Tomar gave a message to the power companies that all the employees should be engaged in this work to solve the problems of the consumers. In compliance with this, the work of removing trees and trees on transformers and lines has been started by the power companies as a campaign. This work will be completed by the end of this month.
Tomar has directed that all the officers of the department should also come out of their offices and inspect the grounds. They themselves will also conduct surprise inspections and at the places where shortages are found, the responsibility of the concerned will be fixed.
