The Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (LESA) has expedited a ₹15 crore underground cabling project to address ongoing power outages in the VVIP Mantri Awas area in Gomti Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. The project involves laying a 9-km-long underground 33 KV cable that connects the Mantri Awas substation directly to the Satrikh Transmission substation. Previously, the substation relied on temporary power supplies from other substations for 11 years, affecting nearly 6,000 consumers. The new line aims to enhance the reliability of power supply to prominent localities including Vikalp Khand-3 and ministerial residences. Although the project is set to be operational within the next 10 days, it has drawn criticism from residents and consumer groups who question why similar urgency is not applied to power issues in non-VVIP areas of Lucknow.
