When we exercised our franchise we did it with the hope that the elected members will lead us to prosperity and guide us and help us face all eventualities. When the government appointed the officials they were expected to discharge their duties well. When we ask questions we expect the ministers and the officials to provide us the correct information. We also expect the people to cooperate and help the administration in fulfilling the cherished dream. We are not demanding that the state reveal secrets which will undermine the security and the sovereignty. The issue is electricity. It was a shocking comment when former VC of Manipur University, Prof IS Khaidem said he and other senior citizens only dream that they can experience uninterrupted power supply before the end comes. There are some issues involved, first regarding proper and equitable distribution of power and proper management of the state of affairs. Joint Electricity Commission of Manipur and Mizoram official feet the state has not done much to improve power supply and there is room for alleged selling of power to other states. The state electricity department should come clean on the matter. In both the hill and the valley the rationing of power is not well managed. Some areas get more power than some areas as expressed by residents for ages. The department has not yet corrected it and continue to serve some areas well and deny some areas continuously for the last one decade or so. Since 2003 power reforms had been executed and the present government had been in power for the last ten years when power reforms were done. Power supply was expected to be improved by 2012 and the way it is going on we do not expect our senior citizens to see the bulb lighted when they read at night and early morning. Power is one sector the government should pay serious attention. For the last one decade we have been hearing that the revenue collection is poor. Why is it so ? Blaming the people all the time for years is not acceptable. Chief Minister, O Ibobi Singh has taken over the Power department from Phungzathang Tonsing. Pre paid system for the entire state is not possible. It should be done in most places as it is so far proving to be efficient. A policy has also to be chalked out to ensure that those not having pre paid system also pay taxes and get proper supply of power. There are too many unanswered queries in this sector. Act fast, responsibly and honestly otherwise the blooming industry will be washed away.
