Imphal, January 25, 2011:
The Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress condemned the act of victimizing a young girl of 15 years in its drive against unauthorized consumers and bill defaulters on January 24.Citing the drive of the department as a reaction of a sudden jolt from the PIL filed to the Gauhati High Court by three citizens of the state, MPTC demanded the department to stop the act of human right violation by victimizing innocent people.
In a press release, MPTC stated that the drive of the department is good but the way the department is conducting the drive leaves much to be desired.
The department is torturing the poor people by conducting the drive against them while on the other hand it cannot collect bills or conduct drives against MLAs, ministers, bureaucrats and other high officials.
The prime cause for the present issue is the irregular power supply and the delayed payment of salaries, frequent load sheddings and huge bill amounts disproportionate to the duration of power supply, it said.
