Mandi
The Mandi district’s electrical grid has been severely impacted by landslides and intense rains. Near 9 mile Pandoh, the tower of a crucial 132 KV double circuit power line (Bijni-Larji-Kangoo) has fallen entirely. The majority of Mandi’s electricity came from this connection. Electricity for Mandi is currently provided via the 33 KV Ratti-Medical College-Badsu-Bijni line and the 66 KV Shanan-Bijni line. However, there are regular power outages as a result of the Shanan-Bijni 66 KV line being damaged repeatedly by the ongoing landslides and tree falls near Lawandi Nala.
Engineer Vidyut Mandal, Executive The department is striving to restore a 24-hour electricity supply, according to Mandi E. Rajesh Kumar. The 132 KV line repair project is moving quickly and might be finished in a week or so. He has urged the residents of Mandi City and the neighboring communities to be patient and work with the department.
