MALDA, May 4: Following the request of the Malda district magistrate the electricity department has started a survey to restore feeder lines connected with block development offices across the district to supply uninterrupted power. Observing recent power cut situation, the Malda district magistrate had urged the electricity department to supply uninterrupted power to block offices from a day before the rural polls begin till the end of counting and results. The circle manager of the Malda electricity distribution, Mr Amalendu Maity, said: “We have started survey across the district for checking feeder lines connected to all block development offices. It would be brought under a special network to supply uninterrupted power for on going emergency official job for rural polls in the administrative offices”. “Hopefully we will be able to maintain uninterrupted power supply to all block offices and those offices will be coming under load shedding free zone for a few days,” added Mr Maity. The official sources said that the electricity department was trying hard to supply uninterrupted power for printing press in Malda town to avoid any loss of time for printing thousands of ballot papers for the rural polls. Following administrative decision before Mrs Sonia Gandhi's visit in Malda, uninterrupted power was supplied for two days in the scheduled areas of this district where she visited. Mr Maity said: “We are trying to supply uninterrupted power in Malda district hospital, during routine load shedding. We have estimated the cost of the project in our budget. But fund for this project is yet to be sanctioned”.
