Agartala, Oct 3 (PTI) The Tripura government will ensure uninterrupted power supply during the Durga Puja festivities, a state minister said on Saturday.
The northeastern state recorded 373-MW pick-hour demand during the puja days in 2025, while the Tripura State Electricity Corporation Ltd (TSECL) provisioned for 380-MW, he said.
“We held a review meeting with senior officials of TSECL and the power department to review the electricity arrangement for the ensuing Durga Puja. This year, the TSECL will provision for 410-MW as pick-hour requirement,” Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath told reporters here.
“During the puja days, we usually import power from Mizoram to meet the extra demand, and we supply extra power to the neighouring state during Christmas celebrations. This will continue this year, too,” he said.
The TSECL has been asked to make contingency plans to meet any unforeseen situation during the festival days, Nath said.
“The IMD has ruled out the likelihood of heavy rain during Durga Puja, but a comprehensive report will be provided to the government a day before October 10 to take precautionary measures,” he added. PTI PS RBT
