POONCH, (FEB 4) – Deputy Commissioner (DC) Poonch, Vikas Kundal, conducted a comprehensive inspection of ongoing projects under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) during a day-long tour of the district. The initiative, with a budget of Rs 118 crore, aims to enhance power distribution infrastructure and minimize technical and commercial losses.
During the review, Executive Engineer Aftab Ahmed briefed DC Kundal on the status of the project, which includes the installation of 11,000 electricity poles, laying of Low Tension Aerial Bunched Cables (LT ABC), and the addition of 500 new distribution transformers to modernize and replace outdated equipment.
The Deputy Commissioner directed the executing agencies to ensure timely completion of the work, stressing that the scheme would be a “game changer” in improving power supply across the district. He highlighted that the RDSS initiative is designed to enhance supply reliability, improve quality, and ensure affordability for consumers.
Authorities expect the upgrades to significantly reduce Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses, which have been a persistent challenge in the region.
The RDSS is part of broader efforts to modernize India’s power infrastructure, aiming for more efficient and sustainable electricity distribution.
