Ambala, August 28
A new 66-KV power supply sub-station will come up in Ambala Cantonment. The Rs 35-crore project is likely to begin operations within two months, said a senior Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL) officer.
With this, Ambala Cantonment will have three power supply sub-stations. The new sub-station will provide back-up support in case of fault in the other two sub-stations.
“This will bring an end to outages due to technical and transmission faults in the other two supply grids. The town will continue to get supply during breakdown as well,” said the officer.
Work on the project, which was allotted in October 2018, was scheduled to be completed by January this year, but got delayed due to operational hindrances.
