Warning that avoidable interruptions in power supply will be treated as “dereliction of duty” on the part of engineers, Energy Minister V. Sunil Kumar on Thursday fixed the responsibility of ensuring the supply of seven hours of three-phase power to irrigation pumpsets during day time on zonal and chief engineers of Escoms.
The Minister, who held a meeting of higher officials from all Escoms and KPTCL on the measures to be taken to ensure proper power supply during the summer months, made it clear that zonal and chief engineers would be responsible for ensuring prescribed hours of three-phase supply to IP sets as well as proper power supply to various categories of consumers during the summer months.
