32 villages in darkness

Payakaraopet (Visakhapatnam): As many as 32 villages under the limits of S Rayavaram mandal have no power supply from Thursday noon as one of the main wires of a feeder at the 132/11 KV Koruprolu Sub-station snapped at Addaroad area. The mandal was the first affected after the EPDCL employees began observing indefinite strike and nobody attended the fault. As such, all the villages are under darkness. When the villagers pleaded with the local linemen to rectify the fault, they rejected in view of Samaikyandhra movement. The angry villagers and youth also demanded the Centre to withdraw its ‘T’ decision without further troubling the people.
