-- MD NTDC Engr M Ayub visited both sites of damaged towers at Jamshoro and Dadu to supervise the rehabilitation work
LAHORE– The National Transmission and Desptach Company Limited (NTDC) has started rehabilitation work of damaged towers of high power transmission lines caused due to heavy windstorm in southern part of the country.
The recent wind storm and torrential rain damaged 5 towers of 500 kV Transmission Line and Jamshoro – Port Qasim and 2 towers of 500 kV Jamshoro – Dadu Transmission line.
Managing Director Engr Muhammad Ayub reached to the site immediately and started supervising the repair work of damaged towers. He directed to complete the rehabilitation work within four days.
It is pertinent to note, that alternative sources providing full load and no load management is being carried out in any part of country.
The recent windstorm played havoc with two extra high voltage transmission lines in Jamshoro which lead to the power suspension of different areas.
However, due to availability of adequate power in the system, NTDC managed power supply through alternate sources and the whole transmission system remained normal and stable in the country.— PRESS RELEASE
