Efficient utility management and the implementation of government welfare schemes are essential for regional development and public service delivery.
Gescom chairman Praveen Patil Harwal on Saturday (August 1) conducted an extensive inspection of electrical infrastructure and ongoing development projects in the Hosapete and Hampi regions and directed officials to ensure reliable power supply to residents, farmers and tourists while expediting key infrastructure works.
Inspecting the transformer repair centre at Hosapete, Mr. Harwal instructed officials to maintain strict quality control in the use of materials and transformer oil.
