Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh): Students troubled by long power cuts in Chhatarpur reached the Collectorate to raise their concerns on Tuesday.
They alleged that severe electricity cuts are happening in Panotha village, located near the district headquarters.
According to the students, power supply is available only for 8 to 10 hours in a day, while electricity remains off for the rest of the time, especially during the night.
The students said that electricity is available mostly during the daytime, when they are away at school. When they return home in the evening, power supply is cut, making it difficult for them to study at night.
As a result, their studies are being badly affected. They also pointed out that Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations are approaching in the coming months, increasing their stress.
The students claimed that they have been facing this problem for the last four months. Despite complaining at several places, no solution has been provided so far.
Rashmi Kushwaha, a student from Panotha village, said that frequent power cuts have made it impossible for students to prepare properly for exams.
ADM takes immediate action
Taking the complaint seriously, the Additional District Magistrate (ADM) immediately spoke to electricity department officials and instructed them to resolve the issue at the earliest.
The ADM assured that the problems faced by students and villagers regarding power supply would be addressed without delay.
