Underground power connection in Madikeri

Madikeri, Mar. 12: Energy Minister K.J. George has assured that a plan to provide underground power connection in Madikeri city limits will be formed in the next two years.

MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda raised the issue of power supply in Madikeri city limits in the House, to which Minister George responded, saying that an order will be given to start the underground cable work soon. The work will be completed in 2 years.

Drawing attention to the power outages that occur in Madikeri city during the rainy season, Mantar said that about 30 poles are brought down every year in the Madikeri municipal limits. This happens due to high winds. In 30 places, power lines have passed dangerously near buildings etc. Due to this, every year during the rainy season, there is a lot of damage and there is a problem with power supply and water supply. To prevent this, he demanded that electricity connections be provided through underground cables. Under the Amrut-2 project, roads are already being dug and water supply pipes are being installed. Mantar also opined that if the cables are also installed along with this, the work of digging the road again will be avoided.
