Mizoram Gets Power From Tripura For Festive Days

electric_power_linesAizawl, Dec 29 : Mizoram was drawing additional 15 MW of power from neighbouring Tripura during the Christmas and New Year festivals, state power and electricity department officials said here on Monday.

The additional was being drawn during the peak hours every day (from 4 PM to 10 PM) from the Tripura State Electricity Board to ensure undisrupted power supply during the festive days.

“Usually we receive around 40 to 45 MW during normal days. Now we are getting around 60 MW,” the officials said.

Mizoram used to surrender some amount of its power share to Tripura during Durga puja festivals with the arrangements that the neighbouring state would reciprocate during Christmas and New Year festivals.
