SRINAGAR: The Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has cancelled the scheduled shutdown of two key 33 KV power lines on 4 May to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply during the NEET (UG) examination across Kashmir, according to official communication.
The Chief Engineer of the Distribution Wing announced that the planned outage of the 33 KV Bemina I/II and 33 KV Bemina Exhibition lines, initially approved under letter no. CE/D/TS/18343-62/TS dated 25 April 2025, has been revoked.
The decision has been taken in view of the NEET examination slated for Sunday, 4 May, at multiple centres throughout the Valley. Authorities aim to avoid any disruption that could affect candidates appearing for the high-stakes national medical entrance test.
In addition to the Bemina lines, all other previously sanctioned power shutdowns coinciding with the NEET exam date have also been cancelled to facilitate a smooth and uninterrupted examination process.
