Arunachal power dept orders districts to restrict power load

The Arunachal Pradesh power department has ordered all the districts to restrict power load in view of the shortage of power due to the onset of low hydro season in the north east region.
An official order issued by chief engineer (transmission, planning and monitoring zone) today said that power supply to consumers may be affected in the form of local load shedding.
Stating that the restriction was ordered in view of the overall grid operation in the state and the region, executive engineer N Perme said the order would remain in force until reviewed, depending upon the availability of central sector power.

Power would be drawn from central sector power sources from November next, he said.
