Move to approach court against NEEPCO over Lakhimpur floods

Residents of Bihpuria in Lakhimpur district have decided to take the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO) authorities to the court. A public meeting, organised by the voluntary organisation Dikrong Upatyaka Suraksha Samiti (DUSS), took the decision yesterday resenting the alleged attempts made by the Central Sector power company to hoodwink the people on release of excess water from the dams of its power projects. The meeting was held at the Bihpuria Girls' High School under the presidentship of Golok Hazarika.
