A portion (2-Spans) of 11 Kv Transmission line was washed away by the continuous erosion of Siang River last night, which is 2.5 Km ahead of Namsing Village. Meanwhile the same 11 Kv line was restored and re-aligned few days ago by dismantling the earlier one. This fresh erosion will lead to dismantling and re-alignment of 01 Km 11 Kv line for restoration of electricity, informed a press statement from Pasighat Electrical Division.
The Villages namely:- Namsing, Mer, Gadum,Gadum-II under East Siang District and Paglam, Banggo,Kaling-I, Kaling-II and Loglung Of Lower Dibang Valley District shall remain cut off from electricity supply, thus affecting a population of 5000 people, approximately.
However, the villagers of Namsing led by Gram Chairperson are voluntarily assisting the department of Power under Mebo Sub-Division, for restoration and re- alignment of electricity especially in preparation for ensuing Solung festival Celebration by mobilising men, materials and machineries on war footing.
Temporary restoration of electricity may take couple ( 2 to 3 days) of days .
