Kalyan: More than 4.6 lakh electricity consumers in Kalyan, Dombivli, Ulhasnagar and Badlapur were left without power on Friday evening after the 220 kV Padgha-PAL transmission line tripped around 7.40 pm, disrupting electricity supply across several suburban areas. Power was restored after a little over 2 hours at 10 pm.According to the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), restoration work was taken up immediately, but continuous rain is affecting restoration work, and power supply is expected to resume soon.The outage severely affected Kalyan East division, where nearly 3.25 lakh consumers lost electricity. The affected areas include Sonarpada, Casa Rio, Casa Bella, Netivali (partially), Epic, Downtown, Lakeshore, Usatane and Lodha Premier after multiple 22 kV feeders went out of service.In Ulhasnagar, around 1.12 lakh consumers were impacted after the tripping affected Gaikwadpada, Ashelpada and Anandnagar switching stations, besides all 22 kV feeders supplied from the Anandnagar Extra High Voltage (EHV) substation.The disruption also extended to Badlapur, where around 27,000 consumers were affected after the outage hit the Poddar Switching station and the 22 kV Mankivali feeder supplied from Kharvai Switching.MSEDCL officials said technical teams were deployed immediately to restore supply on a war footing. Engineers are working to rectify the fault and restore electricity to all affected consumers at the earliest, but due to continuous rain, it is taking time making restoration work difficult.CR Mishra, chief executive engineer of Kalyan Division, said, “Our technical teams were deployed immediately to restore supply on a war footing. Engineers were working to rectify the fault and restore electricity to all affected consumers at the earliest, which took some extra time due to continuous rain.”
