MSEDCL directs repair work to be completed by noon Nagpur: Amid soaring temperatures across Vidarbha, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) has mandated that all pre-monsoon maintenance and repair activities be completed by 12 noon to minimize disruptions for consumers. The directive aims to address the growing frustration of residents facing frequent and often unscheduled power cuts, which have become a regular occurrence during the scorching summer months. While the utility company acknowledges that short-term outages are unavoidable during such maintenance, it has emphasized the need to restore power supply before the peak afternoon hours to mitigate the impact on daily life. The decision comes as the region grapples with extreme heat, with officials highlighting the critical importance of completing these repairs to ensure a stable power supply during the upcoming monsoon season. Chief engineer of the Nagpur circle, Dilip Dodke, has instructed field teams to prioritize maintenance tasks in the early morning hours, ensuring that disruptions are minimized. "Power supply interruptions are an inherent part of such works, but given the rising temperatures, it is imperative to restore supply before noon," an official stated. The maintenance activities include a range of tasks such as trimming tree branches that obstruct power lines, strengthening the distribution network, and addressing structural issues in transformers and substations. Teams are also engaged in tightening loose conductors, correcting sagging wires between poles, replacing damaged insulators, and checking transformer oil levels. Preventive measures such as replacing silica gel in breathers, repairing breakers, and ensuring proper battery backup systems are being carried out to enhance system reliability.#nagpur #monsoon_season #dilip_dodke #national_distribution_management
