CCpur, February 03 2024:
Churachandpur and Pherzawl districts are reeling under darkness for almost two days largely due to break down of power supply machineries in Ningthoukhong area of Bishnupur district.
This has been the second time that power lines linking Ningthoukhong to Churachandpur and Pherzawl districts suffered technical snag since outbreak of the ethnic violence in May, 2023 .
According to sources, the exact spot where power lines suffered technical snag is yet to be detected but it is believed that the problem occurred to puncture of insulators somewhere between Ningthoukhong and Khengzang power sub-station.
MSPCL manages the power lines but it is yet to locate the exact spot, the source said.
With power restoration unlikely till Monday as Sunday being holiday, people of both Churachandpur and Pherzawl are likely to face power outage for extended three days and will not be able to access mobile internet seryice as many of the mobile towers rely on electricity, the source said adding that majority of mobile towers in the two districts are without power back-up.
