AGARTALA, July 23 (TIWN): Day after a massive power cut problem had hit the GB hospital services, which left the Eye Ward Paralyzed for the whole day, State Deputy CM Jishnu Debbarma who is also holding the Power Dept said that yesterday's incident has no link with the TSECL's works. He exemplified that if someone's house has a fuse issue, then TSECL will not work on that, but any technician in that field will resolve it and in the same way, GB hospital's problem also occured due to its internal technical problem. However, he added that top officials of the TSECL had visited GB hospital and helped the technicians to resolve the matter till late night after getting the news. 

Apart from GB there are many hospitals which suffer from power cut issues. 

Jishnu Debbarma said that in the whole Tripura things need to be upgraded but as the Govt did not increase the electricity charges, so it is taking some time to get the works done. In this pandemic, electricity charge will not be hiked.

Jishnu Debbarma also said that unpaid bills remain as a challenge for the TSECL and thus the Govt trying to install prepaid meters throughout Tripura so that no one can steal electricity. 

Today the Deputy CM held a meeting with TSECL top officials after TSECL faced huge criticism over power disruptions in Govt hospitals.
