The Bhagwant Mann Government has highlighted the progress of its underground power supply pilot project launched in Satouj village, describing it as a significant step toward modernizing the state’s electricity infrastructure.
Bhagwant Mann Government’s Underground Power Supply Pilot
According to the government, the initiative was introduced under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann with the objective of providing a more reliable and efficient power distribution system in rural areas. The project is designed to replace overhead electricity lines with underground cables, reducing power disruptions caused by adverse weather conditions and improving overall safety.
Satouj Sets New Benchmark for Rural Infrastructure
Officials say the initiative also addresses a long-standing concern for farmers by eliminating electricity poles standing in agricultural fields. This is expected to provide greater convenience during farming operations while making better use of cultivable land.
The state government believes the pilot project has the potential to become a model for other regions if implemented successfully on a larger scale. By improving power infrastructure, the administration aims to strengthen electricity supply, reduce maintenance challenges, and support long-term rural development.
The Punjab Government has presented the Satouj project as part of its broader efforts to modernize public infrastructure and enhance essential services for residents across the state. Further expansion of the underground power supply network is expected to be considered based on the project’s performance and outcomes.
