Central Control Room of Elect dept.

 

         A Central Control Room of Electricity department has been established and became functional from the premises of Headquarter Division Building Complex, Mohanpura w.e.f 07.06.2015 as per the directions of Hon’ble Lt. Governor, A&N Islands. The establishment of 24 x 7 Central Control Room will fulfill the long-felt demand of general public and media.

 

         The general public can lodge their complaints and enquire about the power outages by dialing 235250 and 200515 at any hour of the day. Information, if not readily available will be collected and informed immediately to the caller.

 

         The general public is advised to take advantage of this Central Control Room instead of making calls to the Power Houses and Sub-Stations regarding any enquiry about power outages. As in the event of any power outages, the Engineers and staff at Power Houses/Sub-Stations get busy in reviving the power supply and attending to telephone calls delays the process of revival of power supply.
