BHOPAL: While urban areas of the state are facing frequent tripping leading to power cuts for small intervals, rural areas are worst hit. And the situation remains the same in rural areas of the entire state. Residents are facing double whammy as their lives are getting miserable and the power cut is also affecting livelihoods.
"In our area the household light is facing frequent power cuts, but it gets restored sooner, though there is a power cut almost every hour. But the major problem is related to agricultural electricity supply. As against the chief minister for 10 hours supply, we are hardly getting 5 hours. I had cultivated moong on 5 acres of land, the crop is nearly damaged due to inadequate water", Arun Sharma, resident of Samnapur village under Kareli tehsil of Narsinghpur district told TOI.
