Due to which there is a lot of anger among the farmers. Farmers are expressing their displeasure against the government by protesting in front of GSS.
The protest will continue until there is improvement
Deputy District Head BK Barupal said – Our protest will continue until the farmers do not get adequate and timely electricity. Farmers are very upset and cannot bear to see their crops being damaged. The government is not able to provide electricity and the electricity that is coming does not even have voltage due to which the tube wells are not working. In such a situation, farmers’ crops are getting spoiled. If the government does not solve the electricity problem of the farmers in time, the movement will continue.
