Transformer not repaired, Anil Vij suspends power dept JE in Ambala

Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister Anil Vij has suspended a junior engineer (JE) of the Ambala Industrial Area Sub-Division for failing to replace a faulty transformer in Chandpura village of Ambala Cantonment even after the passage of 15 days.

As per the information available, villagers from Chandpura had submitted a complaint to Energy Minister Anil Vij regarding the issue. The minister took swift action and issued direction to suspend JE Sanjay Kumar.

The villagers alleged that the power transformer in Chandpura had been non-functional for several days and they had lodged a complaint about it with JE Sanjay Kumar of Industrial Area, Ambala Cantonment, 15 days ago. However, neither was the transformer repaired nor replaced.

Energy Minister Anil Vij had earlier instructed discoms’ officials to repair or replace the faulty transformers within one hour in urban areas and within two hours in rural areas to ensure uninterrupted power supply. After the action taken by the minister, the faulty transformer was also replaced.
