Pune: Seamless Power Supply Ensured By MSEDCL's 24/7 Efforts During Ganesh Immersion Procession
Pune, September 18, 2024: During the Ganesh immersion processions, all engineers and technical staff of MSEDCL (Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited) were on duty for 24 to 36 hours. This ensured an uninterrupted power supply and electrical safety across Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and the surrounding rural areas, allowing the Ganeshotsav celebrations to conclude smoothly without any disruptions.
This year’s Ganeshotsav was celebrated with greater enthusiasm compared to the previous year. To ensure uninterrupted power supply and safety, MSEDCL’s Pune division had its systems in place across Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and talukas such as Mulshi, Velhe, Haveli, Ambegaon, Junnar, Khed, and Maval. On Tuesday, September 17, the immersion processions began at various locations. Chief Engineer Rajendra Pawar instructed all senior officers and staff to remain on duty until the immersion of large Ganesh idols was complete and to provide hourly updates on the status of the power supply and other relevant information.
Chief Engineer Pawar personally participated in the immersion procession in Pune. He was accompanied by Superintendent Engineers Arvind Bulbule, Yuvraj Jarg, Singhaji Rao Gaikwad, and all Executive Engineers, with 43 sub-division heads and 170 branch officers on standby. The technical staff, both regular and outsourced, were positioned along the procession routes and immersion points, ensuring a smooth power supply and prioritizing electrical safety. A temporary control room was set up on Laxmi Road, a key route in Pune, to coordinate with other government agencies. The immersion processions of most Ganesh mandals in urban and rural areas concluded between 2 AM and 6 AM this morning without any issues related to power supply or safety.
Rajendra Pawar, Chief Engineer, Pune Division, stated, “All engineers and technical staff of MSEDCL performed excellently in ensuring a smooth power supply and safety during Ganeshotsav. We are grateful for the cooperation of all mandals and devotees. The festival concluded without any electrical safety incidents, which is highly satisfying.”
