Noida: Six villages in Jewar have been connected to YEIDA’s 33/11kV substation in Sector 28 through a dedicated 11kV feeder to prevent overloading at the Jewar substation. The new arrangement is expected to ensure 18 to 22 hours of daily power supply and reduce frequent outages and tripping in the villages.The villages covered under the arrangement are Nagla Kanchan, Nagla Chandan, Dayanatpur, Rampur Bangar, Begmabad and Sivara. Previously, they received electricity from the Usrah substation in Aligarh district, resulting in irregular supply and frequent tripping. The new connection is expected to benefit thousands of consumers in the region.Jewar MLA Dhirendra Singh said the state’s power infrastructure had undergone a transformation since 2017, when frequent power cuts and irregular supply were major concerns across Uttar Pradesh.“Before 2017, the power crisis was a major issue for the general public, not just in Jewar but across the entire state of Uttar Pradesh. People had to endure frequent power cuts and irregular electricity supply. However, the state’s power infrastructure has undergone a comprehensive transformation since 2017,” he said.Singh added that strengthening basic amenities, including roads, electricity, water, education and healthcare, remained a priority in the Jewar assembly constituency. “Our effort is to ensure that the benefits of development reach the last person in every village,” he said.Amit Kumar Chaudhary, executive engineer, Noida power department, 33kV line, PVVNL, said the six villages had been connected through a dedicated new 11kV feeder originating from YEIDA’s 33/11kV substation in Sector 28. The arrangement was introduced to prevent overloading in the Jewar area.Villagers present on the occasion welcomed the new connection, expressing hope that it would bring relief from prolonged power cuts and frequent supply disruptions.
