Agartala, 15th September 2026 : Tension gripped the Pecharthal-Shantipur area following allegations of vandalism at the sing electricity office over prolonged power supply problems.
Residents alleged that despite paying their electricity bills regularly and on time, they have been facing irregular power supply and frequent outages for a long period, causing severe inconvenience to households and businesses.
According to reports, the situation escalated on Monday night, with alleged vandalism at the Shantipur electricity office between around 11 pm and 2 am.
