Employees of Mahavitaran are working to ensure minimal interruptions. Maintenance and pre monsoon repair tasks are vital to uphold the integrity of the electrical systems, albeit they may necessitate temporary power supply interruptions in specific areas.
Maintenance activities encompass a range of tasks, including trimming tree branches touching electrical systems, replacing damaged pins and insulators, conducting inspections, and repairing transmission and pipelines to prevent oil leakage during the monsoon season.
Additionally, tasks such as replacing lightning insulators, inspecting underground cables, and repairing mechanical components in substations are carried out swiftly to rectify any issues.
