New Delhi:
Several areas in East Delhi on Thursday faced long hours of power cuts as the Ghazipur 220 KV Grid broke down on Monday night in the Noida segment.
The situation is expected to remain the same for the next couple of days.
"The breakdown in the line is constraining the flow of electricity to (Delhi Transco Limited's (DTL) Ghazipur Grid, which in turn feeds electricity to Patparganj, Ghazipur and Mayur Vihar areas of BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL)."
This has been sporadically affecting power supply in parts of East Delhi for the last couple of days," a BYPL statement said today.
"The line is under the maintenance of UPPCL (Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited....It is expected that UPPCL will be able to restore the 220 KV line in a couple of days," the statement said.
Till such time, BYPL is doing its best to back feed these areas to the fullest extent possible. In spite of this, there could be some rotational load shedding in a few pockets of Ghazipur, Patparganj and Mayur Vihar, the statement said.
