Thoubal, April 27 2024:
Mentioning that people of Thoubal district are facing huge problems as the power supply to the district remained disrupted for four days now since the thunderstorm that swept the state on April 24 damaged power lines, poles and towers, Thoubal Apunba Lup (TAL) has urged authorities concerned to restore the power supply in the district at the earliest.
As per a release, TAL secretary Ak Jibankumar conveyed that when enquired about the power outage in the district to the department concerned it was informed that most of the infrastructural damages in Thoubal district have been repaired and power supply has been restored to 400 KV Mega Power House, Thoubal Khunou but the power distribution remains suspended as State Load Despatch Centre has directed not to resume the power transmission.
Jibankumar further posed why Thoubal Khunou power house which receives transmission from Yurembam power house; Kuraopokpi power house, Kakching and Kongba power house and has ample stock is not transmitting it to power sub-stations.
Noting that power supply has been restored in the state except for few places, TAL said that power supply was reinstated in some areas in Thoubal district on trial basis on Friday but it again went off for the whole day on Saturday.
The release questioned why such discrimination has been meted out to the district when power supply has been restored in all other areas in the state.
Hence, authorities concerned should address the matter as soon as possible and reinstate power supply in all parts of the district, it further reiterated.
