The Chief Minister said that around 7.2 kilometres of 33 kV HTSC transmission line has been laid from Chabutra to Ansla under this project. "This will provide the sub-station with a strong and reliable electricity supply."

"The new sub-station would ensure better quality and uninterrupted power for around 14,000 people living in 16 Gram Panchayats, including Patlander, Rangar, and Chauri, and the surrounding areas", he said.

The Chief Minister said that the project would help meet the area's growing electricity demand in the future. As the power lines were now shorter and the feeders were interconnected, transmission losses would also be reduced.
