Shillong, July 10: Power supply in several areas of the State has been disrupted due to the damage of the electric lines and other infrastructure as a result of landslide, falling of trees and tree branches on the electric lines, etc on account of incessant rain and inclement weather.
Sincere efforts are being made to restore power supply at the earliest, but due to reason beyond control, power supply in some areas could not be restored in time. In certain cases, restoration of the same requires interventions of other line Departments like Forest, PWD, etc.
Therefore, the office of the Meghalaya Energy Corporation Limited (MeECL) has requested the consumers and public at large to kindly bear and co-operate with the office while restoring the power supply.
Moreover, parties which have put up hoardings or billboards near the electric lines are also requested to ensure that these hoardings/billboards do not cause any interruption to the electric lines to avoid interruption of the power supply and any untoward incidence.
It is also requested that public take due care on account of snapped conductors if any, to avoid any harm and to also inform the MeECL offices in such an event.
