The plant had paid a huge sum to provide an alternate connection to Feeder‑A to avoid total electrical outage to the plant. Years rolled on. However, the project remained in the paper only!

The job done finally

During the national internal emergency, the author agreed to loan materials to the board for their rush work, only after completing the plant’s above long overdue project. They did the job this time!
