The State Power Department has a murky past, in so far as accidents are concerned. The bygone monsoon is worth remembering if one has to keep counting accidents, including some fatal ones, occurred in the State, especially in Guwahati. Given the number of power-related accidents occurring in the State, one has every reason to question the sincerity on the part of the State power distribution company. Has it learnt any lesson from the recent accidents that claimed the lives of many in the State?
