Jusco to provide electricity in urban slums of Tata lease areas : Saryu

“Work on Jusco power plant at Moharda to commence soon”

Jamshedpur, April 4: Jamshedpur East MLA Saryu Roy has claimed in a statement that TSUISL (formerly Jusco) has agreed to provide electricity in urban slums of Tata lease areas.

The meeting of the committee formed to provide Jusco power connection to residents of urban slums in Tata Steel lease areas was chaired by Shravan Kumar, General Manager, JBVNL at Bistupur.

“In the meeting, the officials informed that the work for Tata Steel UISL power plant in Moharda, Murakati area will start soon. For this, fixed amount is being deposited by Jusco  in the form of bank guarantee to the road construction department. All the material required for the Sub Station (CTSS) at Moharda Odia School Ground has been installed by Jusco,” said Roy.

Roy told that Jusco officials have informed that construction material required for the construction of sub-stations for Chhayanagar-Chandinagar, Nirmalnagar has been procured. The site has been identified and cooperation has been sought from the district administration for the construction of sub-station at the said site.

The MLA directed the officials to complete the construction work of the said sub-station at the earliest. To increase the power capacity in Bagunnagar area from 2 KVA to 10 KVA, a new sub-station has been constructed in Bagunnagar. Forms are being distributed to provide electricity connections to the residents of the area.

Roy also talked about giving electricity to ‘D’ block of Bagunnagar, Baridih Basti, Shaktinagar, Shantinagar, Bagunhatu, Laxminagar, Premnagar, Ramadhin Bagan, Gayatrinagar.

Giving their consent on this, the officials said to form a team to survey the area and search for possibilities.  

Roy also suggested of providing separate electricity to each house in Golmuri’s Cable Town and Cable Basti.

Roy said that the officials informed that survey has been completed to provide separate electricity in Cable Town, DS Flat area. Survey is also being done for the rest of the areas.

It may be noted that at present electricity is supplied here at a single point, due to which many problems have to be faced by the consumers.

Jusco management had sent a proposal to the liquidator of the Cable Company for the use and maintenance of Incab’s infrastructure in the Cable Town area. As the consent of Incab is yet to be received Roy asked Jusco to create new infrastructure.

Roy also asked the officer of JNAC to solve the problem without delay by talking to the concerned senior officials on the phone for not getting the work of 4000 street lights on the ground. The official said that its tender will be published on April 14 and the installation of street lights will start in the area from the first week of May.

For basic facilities like electricity and water, facilities should be restored on priority basis.
