The rains are also not aggregate this season. We have left no option but to take an aide from the pump to draw water in the field. However, which no power supply our livelihood is at stake.”
Proposal has sent, work will start soon: MSEDCL
A source from local MSEDCL told Nagpur Today that, “We have floated the proposal to administration and also received clearance in return. However, owing to downpour the land has turned into mud which makes difficult to work. As soon as we get clear sky we will complete the work in no time.”
Speaking to Nagpur Today, Kanhan PI Kale said that, “The incidents were flourishing back in summer. However, we have nabbed two accused and also recovered the stolen goods. Such acts have stopped now.”
Though the Kanhan PI told Nagpur Today that, the theft activities have taken a pause for quite some time. Gullible farmers, on the contrary, continue to suffer as the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) has still not installed the new power lines.
