Nimasow also said that despite repeated requests and prayers to the NEEPCO authorities, including Ministry of Power, Government of India, no concrete response has materialized till date.
The society also stated that the affected people have not been compensated till date. Hence the people have resolved to go on a peaceful democratic agitation.
