Imphal, January 16 2009:
Observing that power supply in Ukhrul district has gone from bad to worse despite several rounds of agitation launched by the Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS) followed by signing of MoU between the students' body and the State Government, the TKS has urged upon the State Government to expedite installation of transformer.
A press release issued by TKS said that a transformer has been lying uninstalled at Hundung for the past six/seven months.
After celebrating Christmas and New Year in darkness due to shortage of power supply, Ukhrul denizens are now worrying whether students should rely on candles in their preparation for board exams which are just round the corner, conveyed TKS.
Urging upon the Government to address the problem at the earliest, the student body cautioned that it will be constrained to take up various forms of agitation, whether democratic or undemocratic, in case the Government fails to act promptly and positively.
