Govt asked to provide better power infra in SGH

TURA, Nov 3: Local leaders, school students, general public and various groups from South Garo Hills on Wednesday took out a rally in Baghmara, asking the government to provide better power infrastructure.
During the public rally, the agitating attendees, who were seen holding banners and posters, took the procession through the main thoroughfares of the town to the DC’s office where a brief meeting was held.
Combined organisations from South Garo Hills on Wednesday took out a public rally in Baghmara, demanding that the Meghalaya Government provide better power infrastructure for the region by installing the 132 KV grid power supply tower line.
During the meeting, the leaders alleged frequent power failures, especially during monsoons, and low voltage in the town. They demanded that the government upscale the power supply in the region by installing the 132 KV grid power supply tower line.
“We have submitted countless memorandums to the government but each time they have been overlooked. The 132 KV grid power supply tower line is a must for the district in order for the people to get better service,” the leaders said.
They rued that all appeals raised earlier with the government have fallen on deaf ears.
Following the meeting, a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister Conrad Sangma was submitted through South Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner, FM Dopth.
