Hingoli Farmers Protest At MSEDCL Office Over Load-Shedding

Farmers led by Krantikari Shetkari Sanghatana protested at the MSEDCL Superintending Engineer's office in Hingoli.

They demanded an end to load-shedding and a single-phase electricity supply at night for farmers in Kalgaon and Bhandegaon.

Sanghatana district president Namdev Patange alleged negligent functioning by MSEDCL and failure to address farmer grievances.

Superintending Engineer RM Jadhav gave a written assurance to address the demands, leading to the protest being withdrawn.

The Sanghatana warned of a larger agitation if promises are not fulfilled within the stipulated timeframe.
