Nancowry, August 19: The power blackout since 11th August 2020 at the Champin village of Nancowry Island which remains unattended by the authorities to date, has finally forced the residents of the village to sit on a strike.
In a letter addressed to the Assistant Commissioner, Nancowry Island, the 1st Headman of Champin Village has stated that all the public of Champin, Balu Basti and Tapong Village will sit on a strike from 21st August 2020.
Meanwhile, the power blackout problem was highlighted to the District Commissioner, Car Nicobar by the Nicobar Chamber of Commerce via twitter message to which the DC replied that matter has already been taken up with the department.
Stating the reason for the delay in attending the problem, the DC informed that due to rough weather, the Generator set for replacement from Kamorta couldn’t be done.
“Tomorrow the same will be done and a technician will also be arriving from Port Blair for repairing the Genset in Champin,” the DC assured in his twitter handle.
