The Nanga Panchayat is facing worst ever power crisis for the past few years while the people from the Nanga panchayat Ramgarh have been forced to face the brunt of about unscheduled power cuts during these scorching hot summer days.

One of the members from the panchayat told to Vivek Bali that “I can’t recall the last time when we had to do without electricity for seven days in a row. Power intervals are so brief that washing machines can’t complete their runs. Even the battery of a mobile phone doesn’t get fully charged when it is plugged in for the whole night. It is a pathetic situation,”
The promise of 24×7 electricity supply with the Smart Metering has been dashed to the ground as the areas where these meters have been stalled, are also facing the same crisis in panchayat. The situation has gone from bad to worse with in just few years as the UT Administration has failed to manage the crisis and provide some relief to the consumers. Bali appealed to LG to solve this problems on priority.
