Joint Secretary, Power, Sara S. Jamir, who is the team leader of the special team to check power theft, improve revenue collection and effective management of power  system in Dimapur District, conducted a surprise check of  EE  Electrical office  Chumukedima and had interaction with officers and staff and also checked the attendance of meter readers under EE Electrical Chumukedima, on 13th October 2021. The team leader in her interaction with meter readers cited serving of defective bill to consumers as one of the reason for loss of revenue in power sector.  It is the duty of the meter readers to visit all the consumers, read the energy consumed recorded in the meter box every month and serve accurate  bills to consumers, she maintained.

Stating that  state government was very serious about loss of revenue in energy sector due to faulty bill for which meter readers are directly responsible, Sara warned them that strict action  would  be initiated against the non performing  staffs.

Later she had interaction with EE (Power), Chumukedima and his officers for improvement of power supply, timely repair of faulty lines and drive to check the menace of power theft and disconnection drive for non payment of bills
