Pulwama: Kalampora village in the outskirts of Pulwama district still uses hand lights and oil lamps to lighten up as the area is yet to see any electrification by the government.
“We are worried about our children. They face immense hardships completing their studies under lanterns,” residents complain.
Villagers claim that they have frequently raised the issue of getting the area electrified with authorities but no action has been taken till date.
“We don’t know what will move them. Should not the electricity department be ashamed that in this age and time we are yet to have electricity,” they rued.
Irony, they say, is that education department provided the school in the area with computers and other electronic gadgets, but they are of no use.
“There is complete failure of cooperation between government departments,” they said.
They urged governor Satya Pal Malik lead administration to look into the matter so that they could have a sigh of relief.
