HANUMAKONDA, OCT.26 : In anticipation of potential cyclone impacts, Northern Power Distribution Company of Telangana (TG NPDCL) Chairman and Managing Director Karnati Varun Reddy directed superintending engineers across eleven circles to execute comprehensive precautionary measures to maintain steady electricity supply.
During a video conference held on Monday at the Hanumakonda headquarters with officials from Karimnagar, Khammam, Kothagudem, Mulugu, Bhupalpally, Mancherial, Warangal, Mahabubabad, Asifabad, and Peddapalli, the CMD ordered the establishment of 24-hour control rooms at circle, division, and subdivision levels in vulnerable zones. Field personnel and officers have been instructed to remain stationed at their headquarters for round-the-clock crisis monitoring.
Authorities have mobilized emergency breakdown squads and deployment vehicles while ensuring adequate buffer stocks of distribution transformers, utility poles, conductors, and insulators. Special vigilance is directed toward Godavari river basin areas, where designated nodal officers will coordinate directly with the corporate load monitoring cell to track feeder performance and grid stability.
Furthermore, officials formulated contingency protocols utilizing network interlinking facilities to rapidly reroute power and restore service through alternative pathways in case of downed lines or equipment damage. Directors V. Mohan Rao, V. Tirupathi Reddy, C. Prabhakar, and senior chief engineers participated in the strategic review.
