Shillong, May 3: Power Minister Abu Taher Mondal, visited the Myntdu Leshka Hydro Project and reviewed its status on Thursday. He was accompanied by R. Majaw, Director Generation of the Meghalaya Power Generation Corporation Ltd (MePGCL), and other senior engineers from MePGCL.
The visit focused on reviewing the project’s current power generation status and addressing related operational issues.
Discussions were held on the ongoing repairs to the first unit, which is expected to be back online by June 15.
One key point raised during the review was the lack of mobile network connectivity at the Power House. A potential solution involving a repeater communication system using VHF sets was proposed to improve communication between the damsite and the power house.
Mondal also took the opportunity to visit the damsite and inspect the ongoing works undertaken as part of the Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project. He emphasised the importance of diligent work and professional precision to M/S. Multi Tech Engineers, the firm entrusted with the project’s completion.
