Modi government claims that electricity has been reached in every village, is it true?

Modi government claims that electricity has been reached in every village, is it true?

Elections in India have justified the elections and leaders have started to hold election meetings.

Thus, many issues are discussed in the election campaign, but rarely mention the issue of touching millions of people.

The BBC's Gita Pandey is touring the country to learn some of these subjects and prepare their report.

Leicester has a small village in the state of North-East India, Manipur. Last year, this village had hit the news around the world with headlines.

It is also noted here that promises of electricity to the construction of roads or water in the election manifesto of political parties remain unchanged.

Speaking again on the village mentioned above, in April 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, "Leishang has been empowered and empowered (Leisang had been powered and empowered)."

At that time it seemed that the three of them have tried to solve at least one problem.

But last week when I visited this village, I came to realize that light is rarely present here and people of the village have not been able to do anything like "powered" or "empowered".

In this small village of mountain tribal cuisine, only 13 families and 70 members remain.

It is just 80 km from Manipur's capital, Imphal. However, it is not easy to reach there.

The nearest road to the village is located 35 kms away from Kangpoki village.

This is a 35-kilometer high road and the pothole has become dirty. The last three kilometers are the main roads on the mountain with tremendous climbing.

On this route only the bike can go or walk up or down.

When the rain falls, the village will be completely separated, because the water is filled up in between that path becomes very slippery.

Did you read this or not?

The surrounding villages got electricity in 2017
There is no school or clinic in the village. Voter identification cards have been found for the people of the village and few people here are interested in politics.

Village Sarpanch Tongsat Haokip says that all the villages around them got electricity in 2017.

When they checked, they came to know that their village was not taken in the plan.

Tongatat Haokip says, "Nobody gave us the reason, so we applied for the top power officer of Kangpoki. He said, be patient, your village name is first mentioned in the next year's plan."

At the beginning of April last year, the movement of government men suddenly increased in the village.

Earlier, some officials came for investigation and after two weeks the pillars, wires and other equipment and transformers arrived.

Eventually the villagers were told that between April 5 and 6 in the evening on April 27, "you will be connected to the grid."

When the women started thinking of buying a washing machine-rice cooker

Lennethan Lottjam was also among 20-30 people gathered at Sarpanch's house to be a witness to this event.

The bulb was installed in the ocean. His switch was torn down and everyone sat down under it, flushing tea with him.

Lutzem's wife was sitting right below the bulb and suddenly the blaze got up.

He smiled with a little hesitation saying, "We all clapped and gladly bounced, I was speaking, light egotism, light ehantai (lighted, illuminated). All the people were happy and some danced too."

That night there was no sleep in the village. There was a TV in the same house in the village, which kept people looking after the whole night. The people of the village did not cross the happiness.

Haakip's uncle, Nakham Dongl, says, "They were all very happy as they got regeneration."

In the following days, television has come in many homes. Some women even started thinking about buying a washing machine and a rice cooker.

'There is no fixed light coming'
However, this happiness will not last long.

It has come to be years now, but the people told me that only 5 to 6 hours of the day gets lightning.

Not only that, even if a small flaw comes, it may take at least three days to repair it.

Last year, the Major Fault came and Leicang village was again doused for three months.

A senior officer of the power division, Manipur, Shantikumarsinh admits that electricity was stopped for three months in the village, as they could not reach there for repairs.

They say, "The village is very inexpensive and it is difficult to reach there. The situation becomes very difficult when the land is rushing in the monsoon."

However, they reject the fact that there is only electricity in the village for only six hours. In his opinion, there is enough electricity in the village.

However the fact is that when I visited the village there was no electricity. After one hour the light came, but it remained in fifteen minutes.

Mrs. Lottjam is working on the farm from 8 o'clock to four o'clock in the morning.

They say that if the lightning has come in the evening, they will finish their homework and watch the TV.

"However, there is no place in the light, therefore it can not be determined."

Dongle says that when there is rains or heavy wind blows, lightning disappears indefinitely.

The people of the village jokingly say, "Now even if the urine is on the dog pillar, the light keeps on going."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised in August 2015 that in the 1,000 days village power will reach. As part of the plan, the pillars were delivered to Leicester.
