<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->LAHORE : <b>The Monday’s short-circuiting of 10 turbines at the Mangla Hydro Power Station will take at least two months for repair,</b> The News has learnt.

The entire power plant came to a grinding halt after the mishap, which, the sources revealed, was the result of Mangla managers’ attempt to push the worn-out system beyond limits, taking the total generation to 1,150 MW against the normal 1,000 MW. The original ‘oil-filled’ cables, having outlived their utility, could not survive the extra load, leading to the disaster. The Wapda had already awarded the tender for the replacement of these underground oil-filled cables. <b>These cables, joining the turbines with the national grid, had a lifespan of 30 years and should have been replaced till 1997.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
