Indore News: West Discom Staff Brave Kanh To Replace HT Wires

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh West Zone Electricity Distribution Company carried out a challenging operation on Tuesday afternoon by entering the Kanh river to replace weakened electricity wires supplying Rajwada area.

City superintending engineer DK Gathe said the 11 kV feeder originating from the 33/11 kV Pagnispaga substation supplies power up to Piplibazaar in Rajwada locality. During inspection, the overhead line was found in a critically weak condition, prompting an immediate decision to replace it.

Power utility staff replaced a 50-metre stretch of high-tension wire installed between tall poles on both sides of the Khan River. The operation, which took nearly two hours, required several workers to enter the river to complete the task safely.

The company management appreciated the efforts of Vijay Verma and other staff members for successfully executing the risky operation and ensuring uninterrupted power supply to the area.
