Imphal, November 11:
In all 500 newly acquired power transformers would be transported into the State within the first week of December, said Power Department source while disclosing that these transformers would be provided only to those areas where clearance of power bill is favourable.
The Department had placed order for purchase of these transformers from a firm in order to replace old ones as well as install at new places where record of consumers clearing power bills is found satisfactory, said the source.
It further revealed that large number of transformers, conductors and poles previously purchased by the Dept could not be traced at specified godowns thereby compelling an investigation to be conducted by State's Vigilance Dept as there is strong suspicion of mismanagement in the distribution of the power supply equipment.
