UP Power Boost: 24/7 Electricity Guaranteed from Dhanteras to Chhath Puja
The UP Energy Department mandates 24-hour uninterrupted electricity supply across urban and rural areas for the upcoming festive season.
In a move to brighten the festive spirit for millions, the Uttar Pradesh government has announced a mandate for uninterrupted electricity across the state. The Energy Department has issued formal directives to ensure a continuous, 24-hour power supply in both urban and rural regions, starting from the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras and lasting through the Chhath Puja celebrations.
Zero Tolerance for Power Cuts
The initiative is designed to ensure that no community is left in the dark during these significant festivals. To make this a reality, Ranveer Prasad, the Principal Secretary of Energy, held a high-level review meeting with departmental officials to streamline the implementation of this mandate.
During the meeting, the Principal Secretary left no room for ambiguity, instructing officials to maintain a robust power infrastructure. The goal is clear: consistent illumination and a seamless energy flow across every corner of the state.
Rapid Response and Pre-emptive Action
Recognizing that the festive season often brings a surge in electricity demand, the Energy Department is shifting its focus toward proactive maintenance. Principal Secretary Prasad emphasized that service disruptions must be avoided at all costs to prevent any public inconvenience.
Key directives issued during the review include:
- Advance Preparation: All necessary technical preparations must be completed before the festivities begin.
- Immediate Repairs: Any technical faults detected in the grid must be addressed and repaired immediately.
- Priority Restoration: In the event of an unavoidable power outage due to technical failure, restoring the supply is to be treated as the absolute top priority.
"Service disruptions must be avoided," emphasized Principal Secretary Ranveer Prasad, directing officials to ensure that the infrastructure is capable of handling the increased load.
With these strict guidelines in place, the Uttar Pradesh government aims to ensure that the celebrations of Dhanteras and Chhath Puja are powered without hindrance, allowing citizens to celebrate their traditions with ease and light.
