Imphal, March 01 2014 :
Chief Minister O Ibobi who is also in charge of Power Department yesterday reviewed different projects being taken up by the department, informed an official source.
During the meeting, officials of the Power Grid Corporation of India informed the Chief Minister that the ongoing construction work of 400 KV transmission line from Jiribam to Imphal would be completed by June this year.
Many high ranking officials of Power Department attended the review meeting.
Notably, Manipur is unable to draw its full share of power allocated from power projects based outside the State in spite of the acute power crisis in the State because oflow capacity of the existing transmission lines.
It is expected that power situation in the State would improve to some extent once the 400 KV transmission line from Jiribam to Imphal is commissioned.
