Navalkar takes some heat off
In a move to regularise power supply in the city and avoid frequent load-shedding, the civic authorities have been directed to impose restrictions on display of neon-signs, lights on advertisement boards, and use of power for commercial refrigeration and cooling purposes on Mondays and Thursdays in the evening between 6 and 10 pm.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the MSEB, and the municipal commissioners of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. District guardian minister Pramod Navalkar presided over the meeting, attended among others, by district collector Vijaykumar Gautam, MLAs Dilip Kamble and Suryakant Lonkar.
Navalkar appealed to all the owners of commercial units as well as hotels, not to use power for neon signs, advertisement boards, and for commercial refrigeration purposes, between 6 and 10 pm on Mondays and Thursdays. Citizens have also been urged to stop unnecessary use of electricity in houses.
The MSEB will now undertake load-shedding for a maximum period of one hour between 6 and 10 pm on Mondays, in addition to the regular periods of load shedding on Thursdays. The load-shedding on Mondays will be in phases, for half an hour each time, with a gap of two hours. The MSEB has opened special cells for public information.
They are: Rasta Peth: 632078, Shivajinagar: 5533383, Bunndgarden: 625777, Swargate, Padmavati: 4440623, Ganeshkhind: 356008 ,Deccan: 355307, Bhosari: 790304, Pimpri: 773174.
