Imphal, March 13 2011:
Chief Minister, O Ibobi Singh has brought darkness in Tamenglong district, alleged the Zeliangrong Boudi, saying that before the commission of 133/33 KV sub-station at Rengpang, there was power supply in the district.
Since the commission of the sub-station, the district has been experiencing total black out for weeks and months, a statement signed by Thomas Kamei, chairman of the Boudi said.
Many poor students of the district have been spending hundreds and thousands of rupees purchasing candles and kerosene as HSLC and HSSLC examinations are knocking at the door.
The poor students and their parents are being fleeced by the Ibobi led SPF government.
If the government cannot give regular supply of power to the district, why was the 133/33 KV sub-station at Rengpang was inaugurated ? If the government and the Electricity Department cannot give regular power to the people of the district, ZB has no alternative but to shut down the sub-station.
