The All Ward Union Mokokchung Town (AWUMT) has informed residents of Mokokchung town that ward authorities across all 18 wards will no longer be involved in electricity-related duties, following the revocation of the Urban Electricity Management Board (UEMB) Rules by the Government of Nagaland.
The AWUMT said that, for several years, the UEMBs under each ward authority have supported the Power Department by assisting with meter reading, billing, revenue collection and submission, as well as maintenance. This long-standing collaboration was carried out at the request of the Power Department.
However, the AWUMT informed that the ward authorities have ceased all such functions with effect from June 2025.
On behalf of all 18 ward authorities, the AWUMT extended its gratitude to the residents of Mokokchung town for their support and cooperation throughout the years of implementing the UEMB framework.
The announcement was jointly issued by AWUMT General Secretary Lanuwapang and President Lemasashi.
