Manan Kumar

As the power woes have hit a new high this monsoons there is good news for the residents of Uttam Nagar and Janak Puri and some adjacent areas. They can now breathe easy for the BSES Rajdhani Power has approved installation of a new 66 kV substation/grid at Uttam Nagar adjoining Bus Terminus.

"To be constructed at an extimated cost of Rs. 5 crore, the new substation will make life easer for lakhs of residents. Besides catering to A, B and C blocks of Janak Puri it will also serve Chander Nagar, Narang Colony, Asalatpur; Possangipur and Nangli Jalib in Janak Puri area. In Uttam Nagar area it will cater to Ram Dutt Enclave, Dayalsar Road, Milap Nagar, Arya Samaj Road, Prem Nagar, Arya Samaj Road, Prem Nagar, Jeewan Park, chanakya Place, Indra Park and," says Janak Puri councillor Sanjay Puri.

Puri has been pursuing the issue with BSES, Delhi Government and DDA for long.

The project of substation had gone in limbo with DDA retracting from its earlier promise to give land at concessional rates.

In a meeting of top officials held in the office of chief secretary, the DDA vice chairman finally agreed to provide land to the power Distribution Company, BSEs Rajdhani Power, on the same rate that it had promised the dVB.

In the new substation/grid, two substation, each of 20 MVA capacity is being installed. These will cater especially to the area of Uttam Nagar. This will free Janak Puri C-1 sub station from the extra load in turn, areas of Vikaspuri will also benefit from surplus power of the new sub-station.

To solve the power woes of C-2 block Janak Puri, the BSES has agreed to install an independent substation here.
