Moodubelle, 07 April 2010: Being fed up with the erratic power supply by the Mescom, the disgruntled villagers from Moodubelle and surrounding regions organised a protest demonstration in front of the Mescom office at the Red Hill junction on Wednesday, 7th April, 2010. The Mescom officer at Moodubelle, Mr. Sameer accepted the memorandum from the protestors and promised that he will try his best to improve the power supply. However, the protestors insisted that the senior officer of Mescom should visit Moodubelle and resolve the problem of the erratic power supply as the irregular power supply has been causing a lot of inconvenience to the students who have been appearing for their annual examinations.

Besides, it was also suggested that even during the night time provision should be made for  the presence of the line-man in Moodubelle.

The protest meeting was attended by Commodore  Jerome Castelino, Gerald Fernandes, Shashidar Wagle, A.J.D’Souza, Rajendra Shetty, Devadas Hebbar, Vikas Shetty, Ivan D’Almeda and others.
