Editor,
I wish to highlight the persistent electricity crisis in Pakke-Kessang headquarters. It is a matter of shame that such a situation exists in the constituency of a local MLA-cum-health minister, and that too in the district headquarters.
For weeks, the area has been facing continuous power cuts, and this problem has been prevailing for many years without any permanent solution. What is even more concerning is that villages in other districts often have better and more reliable electricity supply, while Pakke-Kessang HQ continues to face electricity shortage.
This ongoing crisis has caused severe hardship to both the public and officials working in the area. Government offices are unable to function efficiently, leading to delays in essential public services. Students are struggling to study, small businesses are suffering losses, and healthcare services are being seriously affected.
Despite the seriousness of the issue, there appears to be a lack of urgency and concrete action from the authorities concerned. The people of Pakke-Kessang feel neglected and frustrated by this continued inaction.
I strongly urge the local MLA and the power minister, along with the department concerned, to take immediate and effective measures to restore and ensure a reliable electricity supply. A district headquarters cannot be allowed to function without such a basic necessity.
A concerned official,
Pakke-Kessang HQ
