Locals say the connection was stopped due to non-payment of bills; children bear the brunt of official apathy
As the clock strikes 10 a.m., tiny tots from in and around Adarsh Nagar troop into the Anganwadi centre in their locality.
However, their enthusiasm for the day is short-lived as they start feeling hot and stuffy within minutes. The reason? None of the ceiling fans work.
“It’s not that the ceiling fans are out of order. We can’t turn them on as there is no electricity connection to the school,” said V. Padma, who has been working at the Anganwadi centre located in Ward 17 of Zone III for the past 12 years.
