Amid the tall claims of the Centre to provide power supply to rural areas across the country, a village in Meghalaya, along the international border with Bangladesh, has expressed its willingness to get power connection from the neighbouring country.
The Meghalaya government has been providing electricity to Umkiang and its adjoining villages in East Jaintia Hills for the past several years. But the villagers complained of “very poor and unsatisfactory” service rendered to them by Meghalaya Energy Corporation Limited (MeECL).
