Delhi govt to prepare Power Master Plan to strengthen electricity infra
New Delhi, Jul 18 (PTI) The Delhi government will soon prepare a comprehensive 'Power Master Plan' aimed at strengthening the capital's electricity infrastructure and ensuring uninterrupted supply amid rising demand, officials said on Friday. Delhi Power minister Ashish Sood chaired a high-level meeting to review the power augmentation roadmap of the national capital, particularly focusing on upcoming plans of Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) and the three private distribution companies — TPDDL, BRPL and BYPL — over the next three years. During the meeting, Sood directed the power secretary to begin work on drafting the 'Power Master Plan' for Delhi, which will serve as a blueprint for streamlining generation, transmission, and distribution across the city. DTL presented its capacity addition projections up to March 2029, including the commissioning of two new substations at Gopalpur and Tikri Khurd with a combined capacity of 4,000 MVA. Once implemented, the total transmission capacity in Delhi is expected to rise to 24,000 MVA, against an anticipated peak demand of around 11,000 MVA. The three discoms also submitted their respective augmentation plans till September 2026, which include setting up transformers of varying capacities across the capital. The estimated investment for this is pegged at Rs 1,937 crore. Sood stressed the need to expedite land acquisition for Distribution Transformers and directed the power secretary to convene meetings with MLAs, DDA, and MCD officials to resolve delays. He also sought accountability for delays in sub-station projects pending since 2022-23.

No mercy for people who spread the curse of drugs in Punjab: Bhagwant Mann
Agency: Malerkotla (PB), Jul 18 (PTI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday said that no mercy will be shown to people who had spread the curse of drugs in the state. Speaking after inaugurating new tehsil complexes at Ahmedgarh and Amargarh, he said that the 'Drug Jarnails who were once considered invincible have now been put behind the bars." The resounding success of the ongoing Yudh Nashian Virudh is a testimony that the people stand with the state government in its war against drugs, an official statement quoted Mann as saying. The chief minister claimed that the Congress and Akalis were divided houses as their leaders squabble for power. 'These power hungry politicians can't survive without it. They are getting restless as people have ousted them to opt the Aam Aadmi Party," he said. Mann said the state government will take several pro-people decisions in the coming days and ensure that youth become job-givers instead of job-seekers. He said Punjab is the sacred land of great Gurus, saints and seers who preached love, harmony and tolerance. However, some 'anti-Punjab forces" have been trying to destroy this fabric of unity by orchestrating sacrilegious acts against holy scriptures since 2016, Mann said, reiterating his government's resolve to ensure exemplary punishment for such culprits. He also highlighted the key public welfare initiatives of the state government, including the recent Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana under which cashless medical treatment worth up to Rs 10 lakh will be extended to every family in Punjab. Mann said that Punjab has set a benchmark by providing government jobs to more than 55,000 youths in the last three years. 'The transparent recruitment has increased their faith in the state government. So the youths are shunning the idea of moving abroad and instead prepare for government jobs," he said.
