Mangkolemba, March 19 (MExN): The 33 KVA Power Transformer at Mangkolemba Power Station which was damaged on February 20, sending Mangkolemba town and its surrounding villages into darkness, has been reinstalled.
A press note from the Mangkolemba Town Lanur Telongjem (MTLT) informed that the transformer feeds Mangkolemba town and 11 surrounding villages.
