JPDCL Failed to Provide Uninterrupted Power Supply to Industrial Units of Bari Brahamana – BBIA
Jammu, 09-08-2023 : An urgent Meeting of Bari Brahmana Industries Association (BBIA) was held today under the President ship of Sh. Lalit Mahajan in presence of Sh. Tarun Singla Sr. Vice President, Sh. Ajay Langer Vice President, Sh. Viraaj Malhotra General Secretary, Sh. Rajesh Jain Secretary and Sh. Vivek Singhal Treasurer BBIA and other Members to discuss the issue regarding the unscheduled Power Cuts imposed by SLDC Division of Power Development Department since last few days.
During the course of discussions, Members present in the meeting raised serious concerns towards the unscheduled power cuts imposed by JPDCL during day and night resulting huge production as well as financial losses to the Industrial Units working in Industrial Hub of Bari Brahmana in spite of the facts that Department is collecting Rs. 175 Crores Revenues from the Bari Brahmana Industrial Complex.
It is pertinent to mention here that JPDCL committed to supply uninterrupted Power Supply to Industrial Units of Jammu & Kashmir but it is unfortunate to note that the Power Supply from BB-I and BB-2 Grid and Receiving Station Switched Off without any intimation by SLDC Wing to Chief Engineer M&RE and System Operation. JPDCL which shows the lack of Coordination between the Departments resulting Industrial Units suffering very badly and their production always depends upon the mercy of the System and Operation Wing of the Power Development Department who impose frequent Power Cuts without any intimation to the Unit Holders resulting huge production as well as financial losses to the Industrial Units engaged in the manufacturing Steel/ Plastic and other related products and also the Units spending huge amount on the purchase of Diesel to run their units on DG Set in case of unscheduled Power cuts..
We request Sh. H. Rajesh Prasad (IAS), Principal Secretary, Power Development Department and Sh. Shiv Anant Tayal (IAS), Managing Director, Jammu Power Distribution Corporation Ltd. to kindly intervene in to the matter with the directions to the Chief Engineer M & RE and System & Operation, Jammu for 24 Hours Power Supply to the Industrial Units of Bari Brahmana without any unscheduled Power Cuts.
