Chief Executive of Peshawar Electric Company (PESCO) Anwarul Haq Yousafzai inaugurated "New Nawan Kallay-2 Feeder" at a ceremony at 132KV Kohat Road Grid Station to ensure smooth supply of power to the said village.
Renowned squash player and member Pesco board of directors Qamar Zaman, Project Director Iqbal Khan, XEN Construction Fawad Habib and other notables were also present on this occasion, according to the statement issued by the company here on Sunday.
The PESCO chief said that the feeder-2 was installed at the cost of rupees 10 million and it would benefit over 10000 families of Nawan Kallay, a village whose players achieved great name for the country. He said that the 5kms transmission line from Kohat Road Grid Station to Nawan Kallay which consists of 50 poles would ensure smooth power supply of electricity to the residents of the village. He said that work on planned installation of 38 new grid stations had already been started and that would redress complaints of low voltage, tripping and frequent power breakdowns after completion of the projects.
Anwarul Haq further said that if people extend cooperation against Kunda (illegal connection) culture and pay electricity bills on time he would ensure that there would be no load-shedding even before 2018. He said that the distribution system was improved throughout the province to facilitate consumers.
Elders and general public of the area praised the PESCO chief executive and staff for completion of the project in within a short span of time and said that they would extend their cooperation to PESCO for improving the distribution system and curbing power pilferage and kunda culture.
