Even as the regions biggest mall,Elante Mall,started its operations in the city,the UT Administration is yet to provide it with the requisite power supply. In fact,according to the officials of the UT,it will take at least six months for it to fulfill the infrastructure requirements.
Officials in the Electricity Wing of the UT Engineering Department say that the mall had asked for 15 MW power supply from the UT Administration which the former was not able to provide as its own infrastructure is in the process of upgradation.
Officials in the UT Administration say that even if the mall authorities want to purchase the power from the Northern Grid directly,they will still require the infrastructure of the UT.
The 220 MW power station at Kishangarh is in the process of upgradation which will take at least five to six months and till then the mall will have to wait for a regular supply. It takes time to create so much infrastructure and lay the lines accordingly, said M P Singh,Superintending Engineer,Electricity Wing,UT Engineering Department.
Elante,the largest mall in Punjab,Himachal Pradesh,Jammu and Kashmir and Chandigarh,developed by Larsen & Toubro Group,was formally opened here two days ago at the Industrial and Business Park.
A spokesperson of the mall said,We have received the cooperation of the UT Administration so far and we are hopeful that we will get the power supply and the necessary infrastructure at the earliest”.
