AGARTALA, July 14 (TIWN): Massive load-shedding problems have hit Tripura’s normal lives followed by monsoon. In normal weather also, load-shedding continued to trouble people for around 3 months here but now, with the monsoon has been started, the situation is more deteriorated. This weather has also halted hospital service as well as banking service across the state. Mostly the rural and ADC areas are the highest victims of such problems. However, there is no problem for the Ministers and equal VIP areas leading massive resentments. Govt has not declared any particular time period when the problems will be totally ended. Tripura has enough power-surplus according to TSECL and also Power Minister Jishnu Dev Barman. Tripura Govt is getting 63 MW from Rukhia, 42 MW from Baramura, 10 MW from Dumboor, 100 MW from Monarchak, 130 MW from central share and from OTPC 725 MW.
