AGATALA, Jan 22 (TIWN): Whereas NE state Tripura is generating enough power and also sharing power with neighboring Bangladesh, but the transmission and generation is left in very poor shape.
As a result most of the time the rural areas suffer from load-shedding.
It has been witnessed during summer, for whole night no power is there, which creates an anarchy over there.
Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy who also an expert in this field highly criticized the present scenario of power transmission in Tripura as well as the distribution issue. ‘It has been seen that for whole Belonia city remains powerless. I’m not saying it is happening everyday but why for a single day it will happen’?
It’s worthy to mention here that Tripura is already suffering from major power crisis as the power production has been reduced drastically. With the Palatana, Monarchak has begun, the result is not that level of satisfactory.
In this condition Tripura Govt taking initiatives for solar plants. Moreover, the state govt has taken Rs. 250 crores of loans from UBI to clear the pending bill to various plants. In this situation power sharing with Bangladesh may effect Tripura further.
