Summary:
Due to the non-availability of the 16kV transformer required for the village, the work could not be completed. KORAPUT: A daily routine for the villagers of Kelubadi under the Maoist-hit Narayanpatna block in Koraput district is to travel three kilometres to reach the panchayat headquarters of Borigi, simply to recharge their mobile phones. “We have written to the contractor to electrify the village soon, as the required transformer has become available now. After all, they have to shell out Rs 5 to Rs 10 to their neighbours in Borigi to get their phones recharged.“Going elsewhere to recharge our phones has been our daily work. “Immediate steps will be taken to ensure that the village is electrified at the earliest,” the collector said..
