The I&PH connections for various LWSS/LIS are also in pipeline, thereby increasing the power
requirement in the area. The tail end load of 11 KV Patti Natha Singh, Bhungarni, Matralion
feeders will be shifted to this proposed 33/11 KV Sub-Station at Rampurghat as the area is facing
low voltage problem. Therefore, to strengthen the network and improve the quality of supply, the
33/11 KV Sub-Station is being constructed at Rampurghat and to energized this Sub-Station, 33
KV line with 7/4.26 conductor has been proposed. The land in which the proposed 33/11KV Sub-
Station shall be constructed at Rampurghat under Electrical Division, Paonta have Khasra No.
