UP reels under power crisis

Lucknow Jun 25(UNI) Even after 15 months of the signing of the MOU `Power For All (PFA) by the Uttar Pradesh government with the Centre which promised 24 hour power supply to all the big cities and district headquarters, the state is reeling under the long hours of supply breakdowns.
The gap between demand and supply is one reason for the power crisis, the bigger cause is the lack of the power transmission capacity, poor power distribution infrastructure which is unable to cope with the shooting demand due to heat wave.
Under the PFA each and every household in the state is to be provided with metered power connection. This number in UP is over 1.5 crore household and most of these are to be given free power connection. The UPPCL sources said this will further add to the power demand and burden on the finances of the power utility.
