Imphal, December 05 2012:
Agriculture Minister Md Abdul Nasir and Horticulture and Soil Conservation and CADA Parliamentary Secretary Vangjagin Valte inspected a 33/11 KV power sub-station being constructed at Thanlon Sub-Division of Churachandpur district yesterday.
Vangjagin Valte said that the people of different villages of Thanlon SubDivision have been facing various inconveniences for the past many years due to the absence of power supply.
However, he expressed hope that the power sub-station would electrify the households of the Sub-Division soon.
Saying that the power station was earlier planned to commission before Christmas, Vangjagin added that the inauguration has been postponed till March next year as the installation of equipment and wires took more time due to slow transportation.
Power and Agriculture Commissioner Suresh Kumar and high ranking officials of the State Power Department accompanied the Minister and Parliamentary Secretary during the inspection tour.
Notably, Thanlon Sub-Division is located at a distance of around 150 kms to the west of Churachandpur district headquarters.
