Public utilities

Wokha's public utilities are managed by state government departments and local municipal councils.

* **Electricity:** Power is supplied and managed by the Department of Power, Government of Nagaland. The nearby Doyang Hydroelectric Project is a major regional power source, though the town's distribution is part of the state grid. * **Water Supply:** The Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Wokha Division, is responsible for piped water supply, drawing primarily from local springs and rivers. * **Waste Management:** The Wokha Town Council (WTC) manages solid waste collection and disposal. Initiatives are increasingly focusing on plastic reduction and segregation at the source. * **Telecommunications:** Major telecom providers including BSNL, Jio, and Airtel offer mobile network coverage and broadband internet services, though connectivity can occasionally be affected by the hilly terrain. * **Gas:** Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the primary cooking fuel, distributed through local agencies affiliated with national oil companies like IndianOil (Indane).
