Uttarakhand Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL) has launched efforts to repair power lines, whose damage due to bad weather conditions affected electricity supply. | |
| However, UPCL, the state-run power distribution utility, has also issued a warning that the breakdown situation may continue for a few more days. |
| |
| Power supply was affected after several power lines connected with the northern grid got tripped due to windy weather and torrential rain lashing the region over the past 72 hours. |
| |
| The lines that got tripped include the 400 KV Muzaffarnagar-Rishikesh line, 400 KV Rishikesh-Kashipur line and 400 KV Lucknow-Moradabad-Kashipur line. Altogether, 59 lines had been tripped in the past three days, said officials of the UPCL. |
| |
| However, work at the industrial estates of Haridwar and Pantnagar remained unaffected. |
| |
| "We did not have any major problem due to the electricity breakdown," said Sushil Sharma, regional manager of the Haridwar Integrated Industrial Estate. |
