HYDERABAD, Dec 6: Two more units of Jamshoro thermal power house were energised on Tuesday and Wednesday morning while only unit-II remained dysfunctional for want of repairs after being damaged in a fire that broke out on December 3.

A power house source said on Wednesday, that Unit-3 started power generation at 3.30 am while unit-I started functioning at 11.20 am. Only unit-II remained non-functional which needed a thorough inspection after being damaged in the fire which broke out following a fault in the cables.

Now 340mw of electricity was being produced from three units. The source maintained that a detailed examination of the plant would be carried out by the officials of the power house while a team may also visit from Wapda House, Lahore, for inspection because a report to this effect had been submitted to the headquarters.

LINKAGES: Higher Education Commission has approved the proposal for establishing linkage between the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Mehran University of Engineering and Technology (MUET) and the Institute for Environment of the Brunel University, UK under HEC-British Council Joint Higher Education Links Programme.
