APEN says that it is not too late for the Government to act on the situation
Kohima, August 27 (MExN): The Association of Power Engineers Nagaland (APEN) has requested the Nagaland State Government to take remedial measures to mitigate the power crisis prevailing in the State but also appealed to customers to maintain calm and bear with inconvenience due to frequent power outage. An ‘Appeal’ from APEN President Er. Shikato Sema and its General Secretary Er. Rukongutuo Suohu acknowledged that for the last few months, power supply to districts like Kiphire, Phek, Kohima, Wokha and Dimapur has been “badly affected due to the sudden breakdown of Power Transformers.” While power outage in these districts has caused “unprecedented loss and hardship” to citizens, the APEN stated that it had anticipated the situation beforehand. This has happened, it stated, because the State Government “could not provide the bare minimum basic consumable items required for the upkeep of Power and Distribution transformers, High Tension lines and Low Tension distribution lines.” The APEN also reiterated that it is not too late for the Government to act on the situation.
