Ara, 24 June 2023, (RNI): Irate villagers blocked the Bihata-Bihia State Highway 102 at Khutaha Bazaar under Imadpur police station today in protest against erratic power supply due to dereliction of duty of the officers of the South Bihar Power Distribution Private Company Limited (SBPDCL) and paralyzed movement of vehicles for about six hours. They raised slogans against the officials of the electric department and demanded to call the official on the spot.
The agitating villagers said that owing to dilly dallying activities of the officers of the SBPDCL, they are not getting uninterrupted power supply in this summer and whenever they complained the Junior Engineer (JE), he used unparliamentary words. Besides, the JE implicate the innocent villagers and harass them. They also blamed that the employees of the electricity department issued fake and exaggerated electric bills merely for commission in the name of revenue and to rectify the electric bill they had to cover at least 20 kilometer to Piro. After making round of the office for months, they were sent back without any rectification.
When contacted, the JE Ekant Kumar refuted all the charges and said that the villagers unnecessarily blowing up the matter. Power is being supplied as per power quota.
