NVCO asks Govt. to protect citizens

Kohima, Jul 23 (UNI) The Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organization (NVCO) has urged the State Government and concerned departments to emerge as strong regulators and act sincere in the way of a competent authority with regard to various complaints from the citizens of different districts in Nagaland on power issues, excessive labour charges and other consumer goods and service issues.
In a release by the NVCO said, it has received complaints in Dimapur against electricity services for frequent power outage which has affected normal life. The organization has termed it as “purely deficiency services’ under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. While electricity bills, as the release mentioned, are regularly paid yet the bills are adversely high. In this regard, a PIL has also been suggested.
The power department is “a public service where consumers are legally entitled to enjoy electricity services,” the release cautioned.
