Longer power cuts likely for high loss zones

PDD likely to roll out new power curtailment schedule

Srinagar, Dec 29: The Power Development Department (PDD) is likely to announce a new power curtailment schedule for consumers in the Kashmir division, which will include extra hours of load shedding in the high AT&C losses.

Sources informed the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that Kashmir Power Development Corporation Limited (KPDCL) is devising a new power curtailment plan that is likely to be rolled out in coming days.

It also said that the power feeders having losses of more than 40 percent may face restrictions of 4-6 hours.

“As of now, the areas with more than 40 percent Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) losses are facing a power curtailment of nearly 4 hours. However, in the revised schedule, these feeders may face power shedding of 5-6 hours,” sources said.

It also said that in case of those feeders having losses 20-40 percent, the consumers may face power curtailment of 3 hours. “Earlier, there was a restriction of only two hours. However, there is an extra one hour curtailment in the pipeline.”

Sources further informed that there will be no power curtailment to those areas wherein feeders are having less than 20 percent AT&C losses.

About the power distribution, sources said that the DISCOM on an average was delivering 1700 Megawatts of Power. “During the peak hours, we are meeting a demand of 1900-1950 MWs of power in the Kashmir region.”

Pertinently, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah last week had said that nearly 48 percent households in Srinagar enjoy uninterrupted electricity supply following a successful Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) trial with zero power cuts.

The Chief Minister, in a post on X had congratulated KPDCL on making another 83 areas in Srinagar 24-hour power zones following a successful RDSS trial with zero power cuts.

“With this, 108 areas in Srinagar now enjoy round-the-clock, uninterrupted electricity supply, benefiting 1.25 lakh households, nearly 48% of the city. Similar upgrades are underway in other districts to ensure 24×7 power supply,” he said—(KNO)

“We want to expose the hidden treasures of the Valley to the world. Our focus is on dreaming bigger and achieving higher targets so that the tourism industry here continues to flourish,” he said.

Highlighting the contribution of local communities, Sajad said the tourism industry in Kashmir has been “groomed for decades” and that efforts are now being intensified to ensure stakeholders benefit from their long-standing work.

Light Snow Likely Over Higher Reaches as Fresh WD to Affect J&K

Srinagar: weather forecaster Faizan Arif Keng running Kashmir Weather as per news agency Kashmir News Corner --- KNC said, December 29 is likely to remain mostly dry with cloudy conditions, while very light snowfall may occur over higher reaches along the Zojila-Drass axis.

On December 30, a fresh Western Disturbance is expected to impact the region, bringing light to moderate snowfall mainly across the Kashmir Valley. The weather activity is likely to intensify from afternoon hours and continue into the early hours of the next day. If precipitation persists overnight, there is around a 40 percent chance of light snowfall over some plain areas, though weather models do not strongly support widespread snow in plains.

From December 31 to January 1, cloudy weather is expected to dominate Jammu and Kashmir, accompanied by light to moderate rain or snow at isolated places. While the system is expected to remain weak and significant snow accumulation over plains is unlikely, a drop in temperatures may marginally improve snowfall chances, and light snow in a few plain areas cannot be ruled out. The situation, however, remains under close monitoring.

From January 2 to January 5, dry weather is forecast across the region.

Forecasters have advised residents, especially those in higher reaches, to remain cautious during brief weather activity, while travellers are urged to stay updated on advisories related to mountain passes. (KNC)

(About this group):

J&K BOSE(Official), as the name indicates, this group as it exists by now, should have pertained to Jammu And Kashmir State Board Of School Education. But it doesn't pertain to the J&K BOSE. Neither is it a creation of J&K BOSE nor is it maintained by the Board authorities. Also the administrators who manage this group are neither serving under the JKBOSE nor do they derive the information disseminated in this group from any official source or subsidiary of JKBOSE. Hence this group may kindly be treated as an Un-official one. There are certain reasons why team KSA had set the nomenclature of this group as J&K BOSE official. The reasons are wriiten/explained below:

• Setting the name of the group as J&K BOSE(Official) made it much easier for students & aspirants to find this group and hence join for membership.
