Former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has publicly criticized Tripura's electricity management, arguing that consumers are still suffering despite the state reporting no power shortages.
Tripura authorities have announced that the state is not experiencing any power shortages at present, citing a steady supply from the national grid and local generation.
Despite the official statement, former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar took to the media to highlight ongoing consumer grievances. He pointed out that many households continue to face voltage fluctuations and frequent outages, which he says undermine the quality of life for residents.
Sarkar’s remarks come as the state government reviews its electricity tariff structure and plans to upgrade infrastructure. He urged the administration to address the root causes of the disruptions rather than merely reporting supply statistics.
The state electricity board has yet to respond formally to the former CM’s critique, but officials are reportedly reviewing consumer complaints to assess the situation more closely.
