The Superintending Engineer, Cuddalore Electricity Distribution Circle/Cuddalore
welcomed all the participants. Superintending Engineer gave a brief speech about the

A slide show was arranged to show the extent of damages occurred due to Thane
Cyclone on 30.12.2011 & how it was restructured by mobilizing the TANGEDCO staff from
all over the state.
Further, the benefits of conversion of the OH lines to UG cables were
explained
1) How the damages can be avoided during natural disaster.
2) How accidents can be avoided.
3) How the narrow street will appear after laying UG cables.
4) Traffic hindrances will be avoided due to erection of UG cable.
5) Interruption of supply will be reduced can considerably.
6) How environment is safeguarded, by chance of growing more trees, which has to be cleared if OH line exists.
Revenue District Officer
Gave a speech on how the CDRRP scheme is more important and by implementing
the scheme, electrical accidents, interruption can be avoided and requested that the
public should Co-operate for the implementation of the scheme.
Cuddalore, Municipal Chairman
He requested to implement the project area by area (i.e) to complete the work
fully in one area and then to go for the other to avoid hindrance to public.
N-Arc consulting: Team leader Mr.Tikko expressed that the survey process was
done for 7 months. By implementing the conversion of OH lines to UG cables, the supply
would be more reliable and people would not be affected by the disaster if any in future.
Also the town would become more beautiful, secure and safe. The project is
implemented by the financial support of World Bank, so as to reduce the risk during the
disaster.
Further, explained the RMS ring main system, by which if supply interruption
occurs in one DT it would be given by alternative routes.
By implementing the project OH line cut can be avoided, so that accident can be
avoided.
Also, theft of energy will be avoided.
Line loss in OH line transmission will be avoided and also reduced.
Also, safety & reliable power supply is possible.
The proposed UG line will be designed after considering the existing TWAD, PWD,
highways BSNL & other private communication networks.
By the implementation of the scheme indirect employment is also possible. He
requested the public to Co-operate while implementation of project.
He requested the public organization to raise their doubts.
1) Thiru. M. Nizamudeen, General Secretary Tamil Nadu Consumer Federation (GSTFET)
a) What is the impact of project on environment.
b) What safety aspect is provided when water logs occurs during rainy season.
c) How far it would create hindrance to the public while implementation.
d) The project may be handed over to some NGO’s, so that the fault in the
scheme may be rectified.
2) Thiru. Balasubramaniyan, District Co-Ordinator Federation Consumer Organization,
Nellikuppam
He emphasized that the red paint may be laid on the places where the UG
cable runs so as to alert the public on safety aspect.
3) Thiru. Raj Mohan, FEDCOT
He raised the doubt about the area of implementation of project. Whether
the project is implemented in whole district or in coastal area of Cuddalore or
Cuddalore Town. The scheme should have been implemented earlier. Since, Thane
has taken place nearly 4 years ago.
NGOS may be included in the scheme.
4) Thiru. Arulselvam, Tamil Nadu Consumer Education and Development Foundation (TAMCED-Foundation)
Raised a doubt whether the technical feasibility report has been given on social environment assessment.

restored.

Whether the encroachment will be cleared and the cables will be laid or the
cables will be laid in the middle of the road.
7) Thiru. Ganesan, Koothapakkam Angeragan Consumer Saftey Organisation Whether the cables used for laying in underground would resist the natural calamities, disaster (or) it would create accidents.
8) Thiru. Harikrishnan
UG sewage system not yet completed in Cuddalore and public are facing
hindrances. Hence the hindrance to public should be reduced.
9) Thiru. Globe: CPI
The detailed project should be given to the political parties, public
organization etc.,. It should be clear.
10Thiru. Kumaran: CONFET
The cable used should be of all the international standards. So that it public
will not be affected by electricity.
11) Thiru. Sadupalli:
The trenches may be dug manually and not using machineries and the work
should be completed within 4 years.
12) Thiru. R.Elangovan: MSSRF
Standards of laying cables should be followed. Concrete structures should be used.
SPEECH GIVEN BY DISTRICT COLLECTOR
Cuddalore District is more affected by the natural disasters. Whenever the
natural calamities occurs, in our state Cuddalore is more affected. So, as a precautionary
measure in order to reduce the damages, the CDRRP project is implemented in
Cuddalore.
Electricity has become a part of people if there is no electricity, people is
affected immediately as water supply is affected. Cuddalore people have realized more
during “Thane” how electricity is more important & how employees of TANGEDCO all over
Tamilnadu came over to Cuddalore to restructure the network.
So, in order to avoid the above situation, with the help of World Bank Fund
of Rs.218 crores, over head lines are converted to underground cables. This is done in
Cuddalore Town and Cuddalore coastal areas.
The survey of network has been completed.
In this project, 7 feeders in Cuddalore town emanating from
Semmankuppam SS, Capper Hills SS and Nathapattu SS are to be converted into UG
cables.
This project will be implemented at time of less public movement and during
night hours. Also, in the places of schools, colleges & worship places, safety measures
would be considered. Environment will not be affected.
During the implementation of project the public will be informed through
press news, about the project. Hence public may render their co-operation during the
implementation of the project.
Explanation given by TANGEDCO Officials:
Town.
The CDRRP project is implemented in Cuddalore coastal areas and Cuddalore
This project is implemented in 7Nos 22 KV feeders with 33Kms of HT line and 1300Km LT lines.
The project is implemented in 3 phases in the following feeders.
1) Pentesia 22KV 2) Vandipalayam 22KV 3) Suthukulam 22KV
4) Cuddalore-NT 22 KV
5) Manjakuppam 22KV
6) Alpettai 22KV
7) Suthukulam 22KV
This project is implemented to avoid damages during natural disaster, to avoid
interruption, to avoid electrical accidents and to avoid human loss.
While implementation the area where project work is done will be informed to
public through newspapers.
Road cut, water line damages occurs if any the rectification works will be carried
out by TANGEDCO or its contractor.
Other Department help are required during implementation of project. OH lines will
be removed only after confirmation of successful project completion.
Explanation given by N-Arc about the project:
1) Survey work has been done completely and report to be submitted for review of TANGEDCO.
2) The proposed network has been framed after considering the existing networks
of water works, communication sewage system and highways so as to avoid
hindrances during implementation.
