Imphal, Sep 02:
Khamlang Baptist Church, STNBA, Ukhrul has lamented over erratic power sully in Kasom block area although taxes are collected from the people regularly.
In a statement, Pastor of the Church Rev N Prangthoching pointed out that electric supply to Kasom Block area is connected from Thoubal Power Station, but the tax collection is done from Ukhrul head office.
Whether is the supply of the power reached the area or not, the tax counting on daily, weekly basis is always done.
Moreover, it informed, the supply of electricity from Thoubal does not do beyond Saram Patong and Yeason villages as the line goes through these two villages.
At the most, the people living in Kasom Block area have received light for about 10 to 20 days only this year, it said, adding that the problem of the people has been further compounded due to scarcity of Kerosine supply.
The people of the area want to know if there is a Government in action, the statement added.
