Hyderabad: The Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL) is intensifying its Praja Bata–Basti Bata programme to address electricity-related issues at the grassroots level and ensure quality and uninterrupted power supply to consumers.
The initiative, being implemented under the guidance of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister and Energy Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, aims to identify and resolve problems in the electricity distribution network through direct field-level interventions.
Energy Department Special Chief Secretary Vikas Raj is supervising the programme, while TGSPDCL Chairman and Managing Director Jitesh V Patil has directed officials and staff, from artisans to directors, to actively participate in the exercise.
During the field-level programme on Thursday, November 12, electricity department personnel undertook several maintenance and improvement works across their respective areas.
These included repairs to AB switches, HG fuse sets and flexible jumpers at distribution transformer (DTR) points, replacement of damaged bimetallic clamps and DTR cables, and replacement of distribution boxes. Proper lugs were also installed for HRC fuse bases.
Other works included cleaning DTR yards, installing spacers on loose low-tension (LT) wires, removing tree branches and creepers obstructing power lines, and raising the plinth levels of distribution transformers. Officials also addressed low-voltage complaints reported by consumers.
As part of the outreach initiative, officials interacted with beneficiaries of the Gruha Jyothi scheme and farmers to understand their electricity-related concerns. Awareness programmes were also conducted on safe electricity usage, conservation and efficient consumption.
Through Praja Bata–Basti Bata, TGSPDCL is seeking to strengthen the distribution network, improve service delivery and provide on-the-spot solutions to consumer grievances by taking electricity officials directly into neighbourhoods and communities.
