Gurugram: From 15 August—Independence Day—onwards, the districts of Gurugram and Ambala in Haryana will have round-the-clock electricity. A blueprint in this regard has been prepared by the government. Under the plan, the rural feeders of the twin districts would be strengthened and the power infrastructure improved as per requirement, chairman and managing director of Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitaran Nigam (UHBVN) and Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) Shatrujit Kapoor said. For 24-hour power supply, the village panchayat is required to submit a resolution to adopt ‘Mhara Gaon-Jagmag Gaon’. At present, 17 villages of the Gurugram district are covered under the scheme, Kapoor said.
