THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, FEB. 3. Power transmission and distribution system in Cherthala town is being strengthened by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) at a cost of over Rs. 2.48 crores.

In a press release here today, the KSEB said the programme would be formally launched on Friday by the former Chief Minister A.K. Antony, at a function to be attended by the Electricity Minister, Aryadan Mohammed.

Under this programme, 11-kV transmission lines will be drawn over a stretch of 25 km and 23 new transformers will be installed. Also, the Cherthala section office of the KSEB will be computerised.
