The NVCO Tseminyu Unit has reiterated its 10-day ultimatum served on the Power department on April 24, wherein the unit demanded immediate restoration of the damaged feeder transformer, transfer and posting of JE (Power) Tseminyu Sub Division and installation of 1MVA transformer for Tseminyu Town.
In a press note, president NVCO Tseminyu Unit John Semy and general secretary, Asao Sebastian, accused the Power department Wokha division of “step motherly treatment” for its lackadaisical attitude towards the people of Tseminyu Sub Division. The unit claimed that even after eight days after the feeder transformer broke down and despite several appeals, the Wokha division “did not bother to lift the damaged transformer”. Therefore, NVCO Tseminyu Unit, at its own expenditure, arranged a vehicle to carry the damaged transformer to central store Dimapur on the ninth day, the unit stated.
However, the unit incurred additional expenditure as the transformer was unloaded after holding one more day.
The feeder transformer was reportedly restored on May 3 only to conk out on May 5.
Ten days passed after the feeder transformed conked out but the department again remain mute, the unit lamented.
The transformer was reportedly taken to central store Dimapur on the eleventh day.
In this regard, the unit while hinting that it was losing patience and faith, asked the department whether the department was judiciously executing its duties.
It demanded to know why the department was not serious towards the demands and appeals made by the people.
“Are the NVCOTU in particular and the public in general the second class citizens where the department can do anything according to its whims and fancies keeping aside the genuine appeals and demands?,” it questioned.
Therefore, the unit said it reaffirms its on the appeals made through the print media published on the May 5, saying it was “hoping against hope that the department will deliver justice towards the genuine demands of the organization and provide smooth supply of power to the sub-division without any hiccups”.
