current playing-up again

The electricity got cut-off on the 26th day of May and finally came on, on the 31st. This is a common thing to happen in the Gunj.

There is no government electrician posted at and for McCluskiegunj since the last 20 years. The last electrician was beaten up by the locals due to current issues and thus he fled.

Now when there's a problem with current, people either hire a private electrician from Khalari Bazar Tand or do the job themselves.

Villages and huts far out of the electrification range have taken connections using a single naked GI wire using tall trees as posts causing the voltage to drop due to improper insulation and due to no neutral supply from the supply poles.

There are many people who use heaters to cook food. When coal sigaries (fires) are lit and the smoke is in the air, it is a clear indication that there's no current.

There has been an improvement over the years though, but it still needs a lot of attention and work to be done in this regard. Until then, we suffer and live by the mercy of the Jharkhand State Electricity Boarad.
