DIMAPUR, APRIL 16 (MExN): Power supply to Nagaland state was affected for nearly 4 hours today following a failure in the NER Grid. “Due to partial grid failure in NER grid, power supply to Nagaland was affected today from 12:04pm,” informed a press release from the Executive Engineer (Transmission), Dimapur. The snag was rectified at around 4:00pm restoring supply to Dimapur. However, power supply to Kohima could not be restored due to break down of circuit breaker at power grid sub-station, Dimapur. This will also affect Wokha, Phek and Kiphire districts. Meanwhile, alternative power supply from Karong (Manipur) is being arranged on emergency basis, the release stated, while requesting consumers to bear with the inconvenience.
