SHILLONG, March 28: Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Tuesday justified the ongoing spell of load-shedding in the state, saying that it was necessary due to the gap between the demand and supply of power.
Stating that the situation is better this year, he pointed out that there was no load-shedding in February-March this year. Admitting that there is still a large gap and some power regulation is required, Sangma said the government is trying to minimise the inconvenience caused to the public.
The CM said that during his recent visit to Delhi, he had held a series of meetings with different agencies and even the Union Power Minister to discuss the issues being faced by the MeECL.
“We need to engage the Union government, their agencies and companies like NTPC and PDFC to figure out how we will be able to resolve the pending issues and improve the financial health of the MeECL,” he said.
