MSPDCL's Financial Crisis: Unpaid Bills Soar to Rs 691.09 Cr amidst Power Supply Chaos
(How will Sanaleibak achieve Inclusive Development?) 

As the clock ticks down on MSPDCL's mounting crisis, the tension in Imphal reaches a boiling point. With unpaid dues soaring to an alarming Rs 691.09 crore and the company’s inability to provide reliable power, public frustration is palpable. Consumers who diligently pay their bills feel betrayed, watching as their contributions seemingly vanish into a black hole of mismanagement and corruption.
Based on the report in The Sangai Express, Imphal, September 20, 2026, on (Dues of Rs 691.09 Cr yet to be collected as of Feb 2025), it is discovered that MSPDCL is not meeting public expectations because it is struggling to collect unpaid bills and manage the power supply properly. The report noted that unpaid bills have reached Rs 691.09 crore as of February 2025, showing the company is not taking strict action against those who don’t pay. Even though MSPDCL claims to have high ratings, there are still big problems such as frequent power shortages and not enough money being collected, since the amount brought in each month is much less than what is spent on buying power. Further, the Sangai Express, Imphal, September 20, 2026; February 3, 2024, also reported that the government pays about Rs 20 crore per month for power purchases. According to the findings, MSPDCL now has to rely on government support to cover its losses. The evidence shows that problems like incomplete metering, no online billing system, and claims of funds being stolen are making things worse, showing that urgent changes are needed to improve the company’s performance. Public sentiment is likely to be frustrated, especially given the on-going power supply disruptions and the company's failure to implement necessary measures to recover dues or improve service reliability. Overall, MSPDCL's performance indicates a significant gap between operational expectations and actual service delivery, necessitating urgent reforms and improved management practices. What about those consumers who regularly recharge their bill?

Education cannot move on emergency lamps and mobile data

MSPDCL in SANALEIBAK Education cannot move on emergency lamps and mobile data  MSPDCL's service today was highly irresponsible and condemnable. Conducting a PhD viva as an external examiner from Manipur for a student in Hyderabad without electricity, on mobile data and with two lamps, is unacceptable. This is negligence towards education and shows complete apathy to students and academicians. If you cannot provide stable and dignified power, how will digital education succeed? Education cannot run on emergency lamps and mobile data. Power is not free — we pay for it. When we pay regularly, we expect stable service, especially when important education programmes are going on. This is negligence towards education.
