Raipur/Jashpur: The Chhattisgarh government, under the leadership of Vishnu Deo Sai, has announced a major initiative to strengthen the state’s electricity network and resolve long-standing low voltage issues in rural areas, including Jashpur district.
As part of the plan, additional transformers will be installed in 133 villages, towns, and hamlets to ensure stable and reliable power supply.
Permanent Solution to Low Voltage and Power Cuts
The new initiative aims to address frequent issues of low voltage and power interruptions that have affected daily life in rural regions.
This step is expected to directly benefit:
