The 66 KV Mokokchung-Tuli Transmission Line (TL) restoration has been successfully completed following two days of intensive work under challenging conditions.
“The 66 KV Mkg- Tuli TL restoration work has been successfully completed and charged till upto Mon SS by erecting 1 SP 45 DP,” Er Assumi said.
The collapse occurred deep inside a landslide-prone jungle described by engineers as “a threat to human life,” making restoration efforts hazardous. Executive Engineer of the Mokokchung Transmission Division, Er Hekaito Assumi, told MT that despite a dedicated 40-member team working from dawn to late night, restoration could not be completed on the first day due to the difficult terrain, multiple landslides, and injuries sustained by workers. The work resumed early the next morning at 5:00 AM and concluded successfully by Sunday evening.

The Mokokchung Transmission Division expressed heartfelt thanks to their Head Office for ongoing support and extended special gratitude to the Mokokchung and Changtongya Electrical Divisions for their invaluable assistance.
