Extra load-shedding for nine days

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE May 28. The Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) has said that in all parts of the State, except Bangalore, there will be an extra 30-minute load shedding in the morning and evening for the next nine days in the State.

A release said load shedding was being resorted to as six towers of the high-voltage direct-current Talcher-Kolar line fell near Talcher, Orissa, on Tuesday.

Though the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. was striving to restore the line by using the "emergency restoration system'', the work would still take eight to 10 days.

The KPTCL was trying to route the Eastern Region surplus power and Talcher station power through the Western region and inter-State lines. Despite this, there was a shortage of 50-100 mega watts of power.
