Tamenglong, April 23 2015 :
Tamenglong district is already reeling under power cuts leading to total darkness for nearly two months now with no authorities reacting to the power outage.
After a prolonged total blackout last March in the district, normal power supply resumed for a few days and then massive power cuts began again.
Now, the people of the district are reeling under total blackout for almost two weeks.
Surprisingly, not a single individual or organization has so far voiced concern over the problem.
All activities that require power have been halted and almost all mobile cell phones have remained "switched off." People are searching for shops where mobile cell phone batteries can be recharged.
On behalf of the people of the district, Zeliangrong Youth Front (Assam Manipur & Nagaland), Zeliangrong Baudi Manipur, Village Authority Chairman Council (VACC), Tamenglong had earlier met and urged the Chief Secretary, Managing Director (MD) of Manipur State Power Distribution Corporation Ltd, Deputy Commissioner, several other officials and three MLAs of the District to act on frequent power blackout.
