SILCHAR, Aug 16: The Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) will soon introduce power rationing in wake of the severe power scarcity in the State.
Asom has been reeling under severe power shortage in the recent times, causing inconvenience to all. But due to the failure of the State Government to install alternative devices, the ASEB has decided to introduce power rationing. According to official sources, street lights in places like Silchar, Guwahati etc, will be lit up and put off one-hour after and before the scheduled time.
As per Government orders, unnecessary lighting in the urban areas, such as shops, business establishments and markets, glow signs and lighted hoardings will be avoided. The entertainment centres and shopping malls in Guwahati city have been instructed to close down by 10:30 pm and 9 pm respectively.
Additionally, in the Government and non-Government establishments, electrical applications would be utilized prudently. In private residences, temperature slabs of AC machines have been instructed to be kept above 25 degree centigrade.
The hydroelectric projects in Asom and the neighbouring states have dried up due to insufficient water. As a result, the State is facing acute power shortage. Moreover, due to power crisis in other parts of the country, it has become extremely difficult to import power supplies to the State. the sentinel
