Solan, June 18
Investors in the state's industrial hub of Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN) and Parwanoo have been forced to sit without work with the State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) failing to provide ample power to the industry.
While a daylong power cut has been imposed from 7 am to 5.30 am in the industrial areas today, low voltage led to the assumption that there was not much hope of the situation improving immediately.
SLDC officials, however, said a major fault had occurred in the northern grid that supplied power to the state and the frequency, which was normally supposed to remain at 49.5 hertz, had touched a low of 49 and at times had gone even below that.
This has created an alarming emergency situation and as a member of the central grid, Himachal was now supplying almost 250 MW power to the grid to help maintain its desired frequency.
In this effort, power cuts had been imposed on major consumers, which comprise the industrial belt of the BBN and Parwanoo, while domestic consumers had been left undisturbed.
