TGSPDCL Working To Achieve Zero Interruptions in Power Supply: Musharraf Faruqui
Musharraf Faruqui asked Assistant Engineers to conduct pole-to-pole inspections in LT network area-wise, and rectify any identified faults.
Hyderabad: Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited (TGSPDCL) Chairman and Managing Director, Musharraf Faruqui on Tuesday stated that they were working towards the goal of zero interruptions in power supply.
To achieve this, they have previously issued instructions to superintending engineers to conduct inspections up to the distribution transformer level in the LT network and to undertake a special drive to rectify any identified faults.
As part of the special drive, Musharraf Faruqui along with Director Operations Dr. Narsimhulu conducted inspections on Tuesday morning at 8 am in various slums and narrow lanes within the Gymkhana Section of the Secunderabad circle.
While interacting with consumers, they inspected the LT network. Musharraf Faruqui identified issues such as dangling wires, cables with joints, and HG fuse sets without proper insulation, instructing electricity officials to rectify all these issues by the evening and send photographs as proof.
He directed Assistant Engineers to begin their operations from 8 am, conduct pole-to-pole inspections in the LT network area-wise, and rectify any identified faults. He noted that due to the continuous efforts of the electricity engineers and staff, issues in the 33 KV and 11 KV networks have significantly reduced.
However, power supply issues arise when trees or branches fall on poles due to heavy winds or rain, and these were being resolved in the shortest possible time, he said. He also mentioned that until this special drive is completed, he will personally conduct surprise field inspections daily or on alternate days.
