Therefore, MTLT said it strongly stood by its demands. As a reminder included in its demand charter, MTLT demanded immediate implementation of the assurance by the Mokokchung DPDB in 2015 about the setting up of another power station (10MVA) is to be set up at Majakong Ward and another addition of 10MVA at the existing sub-station at Salangtem.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>It also demanded that the concern authority and committee members strictly adhere on the Section 166 of the Electricity Act, 2003 to ensure smooth power supply in the town.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Besides, MTLT demanded the utilisation certificate of an amount nearing Rs. 50 lakh sanctioned to the Mokokchung Power Division during the financial year 2014-15 for maintenance works within seven days from the issuance the ultimatum on August 24, 2016. While reminding the department, that restoring the transformer would not suffice, MTLT resolved that unless and until the state government, or for that matter, the power minister, gives a written assurance to sincerely look into its demands, \u201cthen this issue is far from over\u201d.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>In the event of any eventuality, media cell said that power department would be solely held responsible.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Meanwhile, MTLT reiterated its support on the demand of All Ward Union Mokokchung (AWUM) for an exclusive transmission line for Mokokchung town. MTLT has also strongly endorsed the resolution of the AWUM for withholding the electricity bill to the government w.e.f July 2016.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mokokchung Town Lanur Telongjem (MTLT) on Sunday said it has reiterated to stick on its August 24 \u201cdemand charter\u201d and warned of consequences on the failure of the state government to give written assurance after the expiry of the seven-day notice.&nbsp; MTLT media cell reminded the department that the power crisis was not about July [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[679],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-nagaland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102164\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
