Ukhrul, April 14 2021:
Despite repeated appeals to the District Electricity office for uninterrupted power supply in Ukhrul town particularly during the XVIII Hill District Badminton Championship held in the district, no visible efforts from the department have been seen so far.
Speaking to the media person, President of Ukhrul District Badminton Association (UDBA), HL Jain expressed strong dismay against the Electricity Department of Ukhrul.
The association had approached the office for regular power supply ahead of the commencement of the tournament hosted by UDBA.
He alleged that the department had disgraced UDBA in the eyes of other communities who had visited the district for the tournament in Ukhrul due to constant power blackout.
Visiting badminton players from other districts expressed their disappointment and anguish over the unreliable power situation in Ukhrul.
