SILCHAR, May 21: The temperature is soaring and keeping abreast with this is the Central Assam Electricity Distribution Company Limited with its daily increasing quota of load-shedding. Soaring temperature and incessant power cut combine to make the lives of the commoners in Barak Valley pathetic. Silchar recorded a steep rise of temperature in the last three days as on Monday it was 27.5 degree Celsius, on the following day it shot up to 31.7 degree and on Wednesday it recorded 34.8 degree Celsius.
The situation was worse as the ASEB failed to supply constant power. The power picture was so grave that the Deputy Commissioner Gautam Ganguly was compelled today to convene an urgent meeting with the ASEB officials to discuss the matter as reports of people anger pouring in from various corners of the district. Ganguly was told by the ASEB officials that supply of electricity had deteriorated for the last couple of weeks. Ganguly later took up the matter with the chief engineer of Distribution Company of the ASEB.
The chief engineer had reportedly assured the Deputy Commissioner that he would personally look after the matter so that quota of power supply could be enhanced for Barak Valley. However, the chief engineer had further said that generating capacity of various hydro-electric projects have been experiencing a low ebb as there was dearth of showering. It is to be noted that Cachar district, in general requires 50 mega watt in peak hours, but for the last couple of weeks, the supply had come down to 20-25 mega watt. THE SENTINEL
