Thoubal, December 19 2020:
Electric supply at Heirok Part 2 area was restored after 18 days of darkness following failure of 250kv Power Transformer installed at Heirok Bazar after MLA of Heirok AC Th Radheshyam.
During a meeting held near the transformer site yesterday, DGM of MSPDCL Thoubal, Y Chaoba maintained that the transformer, which serves around 420 consumers, was sent for repair after it went dysfunctional on November 29 .
As per the rule, if consumers concerned do not clear their outstanding dues, the transformer is not reinstalled even after repairing, he said.
However, the transformer was installed today following the intervention of local MLA, Th Radheshyam and his written assurance submitted through power nominee of the MLA, L Jadumani yesterday to ensure clearance of dues by concerned consumers in few days time, he said while appealing all consumers to clear their pending dues/bills at the earliest.
L Jadumani, who was also present at the meeting, said that it was unfortunate to see some misleading public through media over the issue when the local MLA and his aides were working relentlessly to alleviate the grievance of the public and to restore service of the transformer.
He also appealed all concerned not to play politics when someone is extending service to the people selflessly.
