BHUBANESWAR: Chief secretary Suresh Chandra Mohapatra on Monday reviewed Railway traction power transmission projects on digital mode from Lokseva Bhawan here and set timelines for completion of each project.
Taking a project wise review, Mohapatra has asked Odisha Power Transmission Corporation Limited (OPTCL) to adhere to the timeline. He also asked energy secretary NB Dhal to take a month wise review of the work-schedule in coordination with concerned departments for expeditious implementation.
OPTCL supplies 132 KV or 220 KV power to railway feeders from where the railways take power as per requirement of the trains through power conversion sub-stations. Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) was urged to expedite the issue of no objection certificates for Belpahar transmission tower. Railways were asked to complete construction of their power conversion sub-stations in pace with power supply projects of the OPTCL.
