Imphal, May 20 2014 :
People of Nambol Kha Jiri Mamang Leikai today staged a protest demonstration demanding restoration of power supply in the locality.
It is said that power supply to Nambol Kha Jiri Mamang Leikai has been cut off since the past three months.
After the transformer through which electricity was supplied to Nambol Kha Jiri Mamang Leikai broke down, the local club and Meira Paibis approached the Nambol Sub Divisional Manager and the Managing Director to provide a replacement transformer of either 100 KVA or 250 KVA but all their appeals were responded with hollow assurances which were never translated into action.
Enraged by the indifferent attitude of the authorities, local womenfolk staged a protest demonstration today.
They put up placards which read as, "Nambol electricity division is defunct", "Kha Jiri people have been put in dark age", "No replacement transfer provided even after three months" etc.
