UPPCL to set up district power development fund

Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) is planning to set up a district power development fund in all the districts in the state. The proposed fund will help finance the work on changing worn-out overhead electricity lines and replace the wooden poles in order to check the growing number of electrocution cases in the state. Fifteen per cent of the total money that is realised from the issuance of recovery certificates to defaulters would be contributed to the proposed fund that would be managed by district magistrates.
