Lumbini Dainik: Locals picket electricity office and halt electricity distribution

2017-07-31

Locals have picketed the sub station on Monday and also halted the distribution of electricity after electricity was cut off time and again in the name of disruption in system. However, the electricity authority said that the same will continue until December. पटक पटक बिजुली काटिएको बिरोधमा स्थानीय बासिन्दाले सोमबार तिलोत्तमा स्थित भारैलिया सब स्टेशनमा बिजुली वितरणनै बन्द गरेका छन्। लोडशेडिंगको नाममा नागरिकलाई सास्ती दिएको भन्दै स्थानीय बासिन्दाले भारैलियामा सब स्टेशन घेराउ गरे। कहिले लोडशेडिंगको, कहिले सिस्टम बिग्रिएको नाममा अघोषित रुपमा पटक पटक लाइन काटिएपछी नागरिक आक्रोशित बनेका हुन्। उनीहरुले कार्यालय समेत घेराउ गरेका थिए। बिद्युत प्राधिकरणले मंगसिरसम्म रुपन्देही जिल्लामा यस्तै नै रही राख्ने बताएका छन्।
