Advisor while inspecting the progress of works, said that once the grid station is commissioned at the new capacity, the power supply will improve manifold to cater to the demands of consumer base including industrial and commercial segments. It will also improve reliability, distribution efficiency, voltage profile, reduction in faults, and voltage variations, he said.

He further enquired about the staff strength and was informed by the Chief Engineer that adequate staff is deployed at all the locations and work is being carried out quite efficiently. While inspecting the records the Advisor directed the officers to keep the roster records of employees on duty available for perusal of senior officers and the inspecting officers should record their observations in the remarks column.
