'Deplorable power supply in Nagaland'
10th September 2018 , Kohima:
The Naga People’s Front castigated the present deplorable power supply in the state as the poor consumers continues to reel in the summer heat with no sign of relief from the concern department, in this peak season as there is not a single day that passed without the power break down.
Nagaland being a power consuming state has never faced such kind of power scarcity in the recent years. The present PDA government is responsible and answerable to the people for the recent chaotic development in the power sector.
NPF would like to point out that unlike the dry season, there can never be an excuse on lean season as the same power engineers were there in the department along with its staff making all effort for good power supply in the state and the consumers will be clearing their dues as before.
Power consumption may have little more increase but there is always a state power purchase system which can never be decrease at all. The summer rain or for that matter, the inclement weather are natural features that passed every year, yet power supply in the state was never like this year under the PDA Government.
The present PDA government must realize how the people of the state is living its day to day with power irregularities.
Taking these facts into consideration such as that of Students’ examinations, hospitals, industries sector, business communities, emergency related issues and so forth is facing a great hardship.
Henceforth, it is frustrating to note that the Government of the day has become very callous and has not taken due cognizance to improve the electricity supply but remain complacent to the distress of the people of the state.
Instead of talking tall and walking high with promises, the NPF urged the present ruling PDA govt to attend to the basic necessities of the people and suggest the state government to be more emphatic and understanding towards the plight of the people who are facing the onslaught of intermittent power outages and to restore the improvement of the power supply without further delay if the PDA Government really want to keep alive their infamous slogan, “Change is Coming”.
