Mahasamund
People are struggling with problems like power cuts, low voltage and transformer malfunction in Mahasamund district of Chhattisgarh. With this, the villagers of village Nandgaon surrounded the office of Executive Engineer today. The villagers allege that the transformer has been burnt for four days, due to which the water shortage in the village has increased and the examinations of students are also being affected. Despite this, the Electricity Department is not paying any attention.
According to the information, the farmers and villagers of Nandgaon on Monday, due to the power cuts, low voltage and transformer frequent burning, the long-up angry people surrounded the Executive Engineer Office for about 3 hours and sat at the main gate and shouted slogans against the Electricity Department. Meanwhile, the officers disappeared from the office.
Meanwhile, Assistant Executive Engineer B.K. Tandon dismissed the farmers and villagers sitting on the dharna that 63 KV transformers are being sent to be installed. By evening, another 100kV transformer is being ordered from Pithora. After this assurance, the villagers and farmers calmed down.
Farmer troubled by power crisis commits suicide
Please tell that on March 11 in village Sighanpur, farmer Puran Nishad committed suicide by hanging himself on a neem tree in his field. The son of the deceased farmer said that the crop was ruined due to continuous power cuts, due to which the farmer took this step.
Taking this matter seriously, the Congress formed an inquiry committee under the leadership of Khallari MLA Dwarkadhish Yadav, who reached the spot on 13 March and met the family of the deceased farmer and inquired about the whole situation.
