DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 30 (MExN): The All Nagaland Electricity Field Worker Association (ANEFWA) has served a reminder to the Department of Power and the Government of Nagaland to fulfill the demands made on June 2, 2015 last. A press release issued by the Association stated that most of the power and distribution transformer are overloaded due to non-upgradation of transformer resulting in heavy load shedding.
It pointed out that most of the HT and LT transmission lines, the conductors are unable to withstand the load due to non-replacement of old conductors creating short circuit during peak hour, which in turn directly affects the transformer. Subsequently, this leads to harassment meted to field staff by the public for no of their fault of their own, the Association said. It also blamed the delay in restoration of power supply during breakdown due to non-creation of sufficient numbers of post.
In view of the given circumstances, the Association has urged the concerned authority to take up the complaint/reminder promptly for necessary action and implementation. It also cautioned that any future harassment by the public arising out of non-implementation of the demands made shall be taken up by the association seriously.
