Minister waives off need for NOC for Power load enhancement

Chandigarh, Feb 15 (UNI) Punjab Local Government and Industries Minister Manoranjan Kalia today accepted the long-pending demand of the industry regarding enhancement in Power Load without getting No Objection Certificate from the concerned local authority.

The industrial sector had been facing problem since long in getting enhancement in load because, Punjab State Electricity Board does not provide enhancement in load without getting prior No Objection Certificate from the concerned Municipal Committees or Corporations.

Today, in the meeting of senior officers of the Department of Industries and Commerce, Power, Local Government and Punjab State Electricity Board convened by Minister, this issue was discussed and it was decided that henceforth PSEB shall provide the enhancement in load to the Existing industry without getting No Objection Certificate from the concerned Municipal Committee/Corporation.
