AGARTALA, May 17 (TIWN): The agitated locals of Kulai area on Monday staged mass protest at Kulai electric office after the area was reportedly hit with power crisis over past few days.
Getting no solution from the continuous power cut, Locals of Harinmara under Kulai locked the electric office and staged protest for immediately resuming power in the area
It is to be mentioned here that the locals have informed the matter in the electricity office after the area was cut off from electricity connection over past four days but so far no action is taken.
Huge resentment sparked off in the area following the power cut over past four days.
Despite of several tall claims by the ministerial authority of the state saying that with the commencement of Palatana and with the extension hand of the other power plants of the state, Tripura will be a load-shedding Free State, till day the civilians are facing unscheduled load shedding frequently.
Unscheduled load-shedding running into hours has landed the people across the State in dire straits.
When Tripura is hit with massive power crisis, the Tripura government with all its effort marked the supply of the 100MW power to Bangladesh with the formal inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bangladeshi Premier Sheikh Hasina through video conferencing.
State suffers with poor electricity supply but ministers for earning huge revenue has started the 100MW power supply to Bangladesh without making Tripura a power surplus state. Where the State Government claims to make the capital a smart city on the other hand they fails to provide the basic necessity that is a load shedding Free State. The people of the capital where has to face prolonged hours of load shedding, in the interior parts there are people who are continuing their life in dark for several days.
Allegedly, Tripura is facing serious load-shedding problem due to drop of supply from within state. Life and business has been largely affected due to power cuts enforced for hours every day. Load shedding in Tripura has made life miserable as Tripura’s own power generation is down to its half of total capacity during past few days. Most areas of the city are facing load shedding of at least one to two hours per day. As a result the life of people has become miserable here in the State.
