Power issues of Verna IDC to be resolved within 15 days says Sudin

The transformers at the Verna Industrial estate are old. All transformers would be refurbished and power issues affecting the estate would be resolved within 15 days. A 60 mega watt transformer will also be installed at Verna in the future, Power Minister Ramkrishna Sudin Dhavlikar said on Friday.

Power Minister had earlier agreed to buy additional power paid by the industries so the IDC can cope with their requirement. Now, there is no shortage of power but when there is load there is erratic power supply. Many IDCs and huge industries have approached him and expressed their grievances, he said.

Sudin also said he would personally convene Taluka wise meetings with power department officials to sort out power problems. Sudin also gave details on uninterrupted power supply during monsoon.
