400 came forward to erect 65 electricity poles in one day
Rajkot: Cyclone Tauktae-ravaged electricity infrastructure in some parts of Amreli and Bhavnagar district will require quite some time to be restored to its original strength. However, what is enlightening here is that self-propelled villagers here have taken the onus of restoring power upon themselves and joined hands with the PGVCL teams.
Around 400 youths of the village came forward to erect 65 electricity poles in one day in an area of 3km that has over 400 agricultural connections. When the villagers had earlier represented their plight to the deputy engineer of PGVCL in Amreli rural, M L Parmar, he showed shortage of labour as a reason for the delay in restoration work.
