It mentioned that “out of many promises one was to shift the 33KV transmission pole passing through the bamboo groove/Plantation within longsa area under wokha district which disrupt smooth power supply to these three regions.” It however lamented that nothing has been done till date.
And to add to the woes of the consumers, the JE posted to Tseminyu has not attended his duties for more than 8 months and department has not initiated anything so far, the NVCO unit informed. It stated that due to non-presence of controlling officer in the station, the day to day maintenance works are not carried out, resulting in the transformer breakdown on April 9.

It appealed to the department to restore the transformer within 10 days, starting April 24. “Otherwise the department shall be held responsible for any untoward incident,” it cautioned.
