Consequently, on Friday (September 26), Union minister of state Rao Inderjeet Singh announced a slew of measures to improve the roads infrastructure in the city. On the same day, the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) also proposed a Rs 130 crore plan to augment the almost non-functional power distribution system in the city.

Under this plan, the DHBVN plans to bifurcate 40 feeders of 11 KV level, extend the existing 11 KV lines to take close to the load centre and replace the old and worn out undersized conductor on lines. Aerial bunched cable (ABC) would be used for safety, where right-of-way for overhead conductor is not available.

Nigam has also proposed to convert 13 feeders of 11 KV level to High Voltage Distribution System (HVDS). While laying HVDS, complete system of the feeders, right from their emanating point to the consumers end, would be renovated and additional transformers would also be set up as per requirement.

The plan includes setting up of customer care centres in Gurgaon to give single window service to the customers. The centres will be supported with the latest information technology.

Energy Meters will be installed at all the distribution transformers for an accurate accounting of energy flow down the transformers.
