No Electricity in
Rasulpur Village
Mabrur Atiqi, Mymensingh, 11 September: Electricity is unquestionably a boon to the
modern people. It is at the same time a bane to them because every day they are
getting deprived of electricity-based advantages as there is no rural
electrification programme in Rasulpur, a village under Gafargaon Upazila in
Mymensingh. The people of this village felt really exalted when they heard that
their village was going to be electrified.
In
a short spell of a month only, the village was equipped with electric poles and
houses were properly wired. People were highly delighted thinking that there
would be charming electric lamps at nights. Students expected that they would
not need to wrestle against the faint lights of kerosene lamps. But it is a
matter of great that the electrification came to a dead lock for unknown
reasons.
The
Rural Electrification Board made only lame excuses. They are neither
withdrawing nor taking any active measure. Now a large number of village people
are at loss to see through this stagnant situation. Their sufferings beggar
description. The concerned authority and the government should take immediate
measures to start supplying power in the village so that the people can enjoy
modern amenities of life.
