Imphal, February 09 2009:
Peeved with the failure of the Government to look into the power woes of Ukhrul despite repeated representations in this regard, the Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong has resumed its agitation and has also sealed the office of Electricity Department, Ukhrul division from today, informed a press release issued by the TKS president.
Conveying that thousands of students who will be appearing at the forthcoming HSLC and HSSLC examination will be severely affected by power shortage/ unavailability of electricity, the TKS has demanded upgradation of the existing 3.15 MVA power transformer.
Other demands of the student body include immediate cleansing and repairing of the feeder panel at the Hundung power sub-station and arrangement/ provision of repairing equipment for all sub-stations.
The TKS has also decided to continue its agitation until their demands are fulfilled, added the release.
