Power
cut has been imposed in divisional headquarters (leaving capital
Bhopal) since Monday morning. Power cut in divisions would
be for two hours. Similarly, 6 hours power cut in district
headquarters and 9 hours in tehsils is being effected. Villages
are receiving power supply 7 hours for three phase and 5 hours
for single phase connections. It means the villages are receiving
12 hours less power supply. Power cut in divisions has been
stopped due to the exams at noon. Supply of electricity is
related to common life. In the power shortage condition it
affects common life directly and finally it becomes a cause
of trouble for government and administration. Four units have
started power production, which were out of order due to technical
reasons. It includes two units of Sarni thermal power house.
But the state is receiving 200mw less power supply from Centre
quota. As power supply from Damodar Valley power production
unit was not received due to the axing 200mw power supply.
It has been stopped since Monday. At present the availability
of power is 4700mw, whereas the demand is of 5800mw. The state
government requires 1000mw additional power supply to fulfil
its demand. Though, the new unit of Birsinghpur is likely
to start from April 3, 2008. But it would not be sufficient.
During the less demand period the government had made banking
of electricity. Now, exercise to encash it, should be made.
If it is not possible then power should be purchased to fulfill
the demand. Dependency on power has increased in present scenario.
State government should try to solve power crisis to facilitate
common people. Otherwise, people would face problem, the government
would also have to face music.
