The Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda) will ask private developers to bear the cost of laying underground power cables on a seven-kilometre stretch along Sohna Road in Gurgaon. The Rs 30-crore project, which would cover the stretch between Subhash Chowk and Badshahpur, is aimed at reducing technical snags and providing smooth electricity supply to various private colonies in the area. At present the power is supplied through aerial cables.
The estimate of the project was prepared two months back by power distribution company DHBVN (Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam). DHBVN has provided an estimate of Rs 30 crore to Huda. Around 22 feeders will come up after laying of these cables, said Sanjiv Chopra, superintending engineer, DHBVN.
