Breach in Ropar thermal plant channel
Ropar, August 27
The micro-hydel channel of Guru Gobind Singh Super Thermal Plant developed a breach, flooding fields in the adjoining villages near Ropar today. While the power generation was stopped at one of the units, farmers in the affected villages of Ranjitpura, Avankot and Aaspur said their crops worth lakhs of rupees had been hit due to the leakage of hot water from the channel.
Plant chief engineer VK Garg ordered the reduction of discharge, following which one of the generation units was shut down. Ropar Garg said the embankment of the channel was being strengthened. — TNS
