Assam: Government office in Salbari faces power cut for two months, work disrupted

The office of the Information and Public Relations Officer (IPRO) in Salbari subdivision, Baksa district, has been experiencing power cuts for the past two months, causing disruptions to its operations. The reason behind the electricity disconnection remains unclear, as employees have refrained from commenting on the matter.

The power cut has raised questions about whether the electricity department took this step due to unpaid bills. However, no official confirmation has been provided regarding the cause. The office, which was inaugurated during the tenure of former Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) chief Hagrama Mohilary, now faces critical challenges in carrying out its daily work due to the prolonged power outage.

Despite repeated power interruptions, no immediate efforts appear to have been made to resolve the situation. The lack of a response from both the office staff and the electricity department has further fueled concerns about administrative negligence. Local residents and stakeholders have expressed dissatisfaction over the issue, urging the authorities to take swift action to restore power and ensure smooth functioning of the government office.

As of now, no official statement has been issued by the concerned department or district administration regarding the power cut and potential solutions. The situation continues to hinder essential public relations work in the region, raising concerns about governance and accountability in the subdivision.
