[Resolved]  Jharkhand State Electricity Board — 11 kV Power Line Relocation at Gali No. 8, Jai Prakash Nagar, Dhanbad

Address: Dhanbad, Jharkhand

On behalf of nine homeowners in Gali No. 8, Jai Prakash Nagar, Dhanbad, I submitted a petition on 17/02/2010 to the Chairman, JSEB, Ranchi for relocation of 11kV overhead power line that runs dangerously close their homes and hazardous to their family. Shri S. N. Choudhary, JSEB Member, Distribution was kind enough to advise us that he had referred this case to Shri P. R. Ranjan, GM cum CE, Dhanbad for action.

Shri Ranjan has been very kind to respond to our request favourably. As a part of 11kV overhead power line relocation, a new 11kV/230V distribution transformer was installed and a new 230V power cables were installed upto the respective homes. However, for more than last two months, Shri Ranjan has given us dates several times when 230V service from the new 11kV/230V transformer to the homes would be connected, but, this is like a moving target date. We request Shri Ranjan to look into it urgently and to make sure that his orders are carried out as soon as possible.

Almost five months ago, Shri Ranjan and Shri Choudhury told us that in order to relocate 11kV overhead power line they need a pole and tenders had been invited to acquire the pole. We request Shri Ranjan to look into it and let us the status of the pole.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours,

Tarkeshwar Singh, Ph. D.
