No doubt that even after 75 years of India’s independence, the country still remains one of the developing nations across the globe, and this is because of the uneven growth of the country, Where one side of the country receives the inauguration of “Vande Bhaarat express train” on the other side several villages and remote areas across the country haven’t even received basic facilities such as Electricity.
Recently it was recorded that a village in Kashmir got the electric supply after 75 years of India’s independence. The electricity has now reached this remote village with a population of just 200 people under the centrally sponsored PM Development Package scheme. Under a centrally-sponsored scheme, residents of a tribal area in Tethan in Dooru block, Anantnag district of south Kashmir received electricity connection after almost 75 years.
Residents of Tethan located on the hills of Anantnag were delighted when the first bulb lit in the village for the first time after almost 75 years. the people of this village relied on traditional wood for their energy needs and used lamps and candlelight.
Fazul-u-din Khan, a resident, said, “We have seen electricity for the first time today. Our children will study under light now. They will be happy. We had to face a lot of problems in the absence of electricity. We relied on traditional wood for our energy requirements so far. Our problems have been solved now. We are grateful to the government and concerned department for providing electricity.”
On seeing the light, jubilant residents broke out into a dance to celebrate this moment of happiness. Due to the untiring efforts of the Department of electricity and the district administration, electricity reached this village situated 45 kilometres away from Anantnag town.
An electricity department official said electricity had been brought to the village through a fast-track process.
