What every Manipuri bride wants
The Telegraph | Khelen Thokchom, Imphal, June 13:
It is not just finely crafted jewellery or a dream house that a Manipuri bride covets, but a generator to sustain the light in her life. Nowadays, parents of brides-to-be ensure that a generator is on their list of gifts, considering the dismal power scenario in the state.
The Okram Ibobi Singh government is able to provide only three to four hours’ power supply daily, as the state does not generate power. It procures power from national power corporations. The state’s requirement is 170MW during the peak hours but the government is able to procure only 80MW.
Chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh said the state could not buy enough power as consumers were not clearing bills regularly. He said the government was buying Rs 10-crore worth of power every month but the department could hardly collect Rs 2 crore against this.
