Gangtok, July 28 Ending a dull period of 44 days at the Teesta Stage V Power Station in Balutar in East Sikkim, the two of its three units were synchronised with the grid at 7:15 pm on July 25 and the third one was synchronised at 9 am on July 26.

A press release says that heavy rain accompanied by abnormally high levels of silt in the river water, in May, June and early July, had compelled complete shut down of the power station from June 12.

It also says that the silt deposition altered the course of river and caused damage to the river banks at various places in and around the Dikchu town.

The release says that the repair work has been undertaken on a war footing and has been completed within shortest possible time keeping in mind the requirements of the local people.

According to the release, the second phase of the repairs, to further increase the height of the protection walls, will be taken up soon to take care of the safety and security of the people living in and around the Dikchu and Fidang villages.
