AGARTALA, August 23 (TIWN): In the age of so-called ‘golden era’ where every now and then the ministers never misses any chance to claim about the development of the interior areas of the state, it is alleged that about 23 KM of area under west Gobinda Bari ADC village under Chawmanu R.D.block are deprived of the electricity facilit

Electricity has not yet reached to these villages including Talcharra bazaar, Sorpa Kr. Ruaza para, Tangklarai Para, Badan Chowdhury para, Rajmuni Ruaza para, Kantha-muni para, Ananda Hari Ruaza para and East Govinda bari and another areas.

All these families are facing the most critical conditions for their survival. Most of the families fall under the umbrella of BPL category. In this village most of the people are landless. They have nothing of their own. They belong to the class of have-nots. They work hard and somehow arrange their two-square meal for their family members but they are not able to earn enough to live on, said a villager.

However, it is expected that by the end of the 2016 these villages will be connected with electricity under DDUGJY 2nd phase RGGVY project.

Even after so much of tall claims made by the authorities, the poor villagers are not getting the electricity facility despite of placing the electric poles on the roads.

It is to be mentioned here that it was decided to provide electricity supply to these families and as per requirement the families have submitted all the required documents and money to the department but even after several years the families are deprived of electricity supply.

The localites stated that they have talked with concerned authority but no electric connection is provided to the houses.

They further stated that the reason behind such deplorable condition of this families are also because of the poor electricity system of the village, which is mandatory for renovation in the coming days which will further lay the path for the development. 

Now only time can say when these villages will get the facility of electricity in there homes.
