Regular power supply in Mizoram for World Cup Soccer

Aizawl, June 12 (UNI) In an effort to please the football loving fans of the region, the state electricity department will ensure regular viewing of World Cup matches even as Mizoram battles acute power shortage.

Official authorities from the power department told UNI here today that they would make all efforts to give uninterrupted power supply especially during the World Cup soccer matches.

''If there is any shortage of power during the period, our department will also try to procure supplement power, which can be activated during the month-long soccer extravaganza,'' the officials said adding the special arrangement for power supply during the World Cup 2006 would cover the entire district headquarters.

The authority, however, appealed the public for minimal use of available power by switching off unnecessary electrical gadgets other than the television set during the matches.
