Dimapur Urban Council Chairmen Federation (DUCCF) and GB Union Dimapur (Sardar) have declared that they would not allow the new billing system till the power department explained and sensitised about the prepaid system adequately.
This was decided at a joint meeting of both the organisations held on February 24, DUCCF president Tsenthungo Nyamo and GB Union Dimapur (Sardar) president NY Ngullie stated in a press note.
The two bodies also appealed to colony chairmen and GBs in urban areas to monitor vegetable vendors in their respective jurisdictions on a daily basis to ensure sale of vegetables as per the prices fixed by Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC).
They also instructed the colony authorities to check and close illegal meat-selling shops along the roadside and report to DMC authority concerned, if any meat seller charged more than the fixed rate.
