AGARTALA, Sep 18 (TIWN): Amid much claims about HIRA+ (Hira-Plus) in Tripura, today public came in massive protest seeking end of their ongoing power-cut problems in their locality. The protest was staged at West Bhubanban of Agartala, where local people are suffering for a long time with severe and unending problem of load-shedding. With light wave of wind or rain, power disruption hit lives for days after days. No maintenance, no permanent solution to the problems have been done even after requesting the authority many times. Locals said, they are facing such problems from a long time but there are no permanent solution of it. On yesterday also, power went in the area and even after informing, the power dept did not fix the issue. When the locals saw a power dept vehicle, they stopped its movement and did not allow it to go. Later, when they called an officer, he slammed the locals as "Pig" over phone which escalated the protest. Locals have demanded immediate relief from the problems due to power cuts.
