Chairman and Managing Director of the Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Ltd (TGSPDCL) Musharraf Faruqui has instructed the officials of the utility to promptly resolve pending applications for new service connections and to make effective use of the line clearances.

In a teleconference with the Chief Engineers and Superintending Engineers held on Thursday, he enquired about pending applications for new service connections, title transfers, solar net metering and PM Surya Ghar. He told the officials to immediately release the 593 apartment/layout (LTM) applications pending with the utility.

In the past, feeders were shut down to charge new LTM services, which caused disruptions in power supply. To avoid unscheduled power interruptions, a new policy was introduced, wherein line clearances would be provided on Saturdays for charging LTM connections, the CMD said.

The CMD visited narrow lanes in Behroopia Basti and Golla Khidki Basti in the Hussainialam and Moghalpura areas of the old city and inspected the distribution network on a two-wheeler.

Director (Operations) Narasimhulu, Metro Zone Chief Engineer Prabhakar and others accompanied the CMD during the field visit.
