U.P. invites comments on power line affecting 160 villages

The Uttar Pradesh government is inviting public comments on a proposed 95-km power transmission line. This project, by South-East UP Power Transmission Company Ltd, will affect over 160 villages and towns in Gonda and Basti districts. The high-voltage line aims to improve the state's power transmission infrastructure. It includes a loop-in loop-out connection to an existing transmission line, covering approximately 95 km. Public objections can be submitted within two months of the announcement. The project is authorized under Section 164 of the Electricity Act, allowing the company to install infrastructure on both private and public land.
