00:30But in Banaskatha district, there has been a lot of development in the villages of Sarhadi Vistar.
00:36To find out how the people of Sarhadi Vistar of Banaskatha district are living their lives,
00:43the ATB Bharat team had reached Avistar.
00:46And they tried to find out the situation and problems of the people.
00:51My life is very mean. What can I do?
00:55Have you ever agreed?
00:57Yes, I have. I have been doing it for two years now.
01:00I have been doing it for two years now.
01:06What kind of problems do the children face?
01:08They face a lot of problems.
01:09If they want to do their lessons at night, they have to do it in the dark.
01:14What kind of problems do you have with the batteries you are using?
01:17I have a lot of problems with the batteries.
01:20They don't work.
01:23There is a big solar park nearby.
01:26We have a lot of solar panels.
01:28We have four solar panels.
01:29If we had a solar panel, we could get electricity.
01:31We don't have electricity.
01:34We don't have water.
01:35If we had water, we could get electricity.
01:39We don't have water.
01:43We don't have electricity.
01:46If the government comes, they will say,
01:49we don't have electricity.
01:51They will take a vote.
01:52But they don't give us electricity.
01:55If the government comes, they will say,
01:57we don't have electricity.
01:59We have electricity in Gujarat.
02:01What is the reason we don't have electricity?
02:05How long have you not had electricity?
02:08We have not had electricity in 50 years.
02:13If the government comes, they will say,
02:15we have not had electricity in 50 years.
02:18They will say that we don't have electricity,
02:20I don't have any plans for the future.
02:26Radha Nesda and Lappadya villages of Vavtaluka district of Banerjee Katha Panthak, which is located on the border of India-Pakistan,
02:33are deprived of electricity due to the lack of foot facilities even after independence.
02:38These two villages have not received electricity till date.
02:42The important thing is that Radha Nesda village will become the world's largest solar park.
02:49This solar park will receive electricity all year round.
02:52But the neighboring village has been deprived of electricity,
02:55which has forced the locals to struggle for electricity.
03:00And as evening falls, there is darkness in both these villages.
03:05AC families are living in Lappadya village from Sitter,
03:08and 600 families are living in Radha Nesda village.
03:12As a result, more than 50 houses in Ganya Gathiya had received electricity six months ago.
03:17But even today, 500 to 550 families are living in a dark environment.
03:22They have only one demand, that they should receive electricity by evening.
03:27There is no electricity in our village.
03:29How long has there been no electricity?
03:30It's been four years.
03:31When it used to rain, we used to go home.
03:34What kind of problems do you face without electricity?
03:36We face a lot of problems.
03:37We don't have electricity to feed our children.
03:41Do you get electricity when a leader comes?
03:43No, because we don't have any money.
03:48If a leader comes, we don't get electricity.
03:51We don't get electricity.
03:53What do you want?
03:55What?
03:56What do you want?
03:57We want electricity.
03:58We don't have electricity in our village.
04:00Even if we get electricity, we don't have electricity.
04:03We don't have electricity in our village.
04:05What can we do?
04:07We have no electricity.
04:09I don't have electricity in my village.
04:13Do you have electricity in your village?
04:15No, I don't have electricity in my village.
04:17For how many years you don't have electricity?
04:19I don't have electricity in my village.
04:21I don't even have a car.
04:23How much electricity do you have?
04:25I have a lot of electricity.
04:27Whenever there is a power cut,
04:29the leaders of these villages
04:31keep talking big.
04:33But in these villages,
04:35no one has tried to provide electricity
04:37to these villages.
04:39So, even the locals
04:41have a hidden hatred for the government.
04:43On the other hand,
04:45the panchayat houses and government hospitals
04:47have electricity in their primary schools.
04:49But in the villages,
04:51there is still no electricity
04:53in the houses of the residents.
04:55Because of this,
04:57these people have to struggle
04:59for their livelihood.
05:01I want to tell the government
05:03that these villages have been
05:05in darkness for a long time.
05:07I have told the government
05:09that I don't have electricity.
05:11Many politicians have come
05:13and promised me that
05:15I won't have electricity.
05:17How do you live without electricity?
05:19Without electricity,
05:21even children can't be born.
05:23We know that there is no electricity,
05:25so we have to live in darkness.
05:27How can children be born in darkness?
05:29What is your demand?
05:31My demand to the government is
05:33that this government should
05:35give us electricity.
05:37But the government has made
05:39a big project of solar plants
05:41in 700 hectares of this village.
05:43So, they have not given us
05:45electricity.
05:47How many houses do you have in your village?
05:49We have 600-700 houses in this village.
05:51The situation of the people
05:53who live in the border area
05:55has shown different signs.
05:57People from the villages
05:59who live in this village
06:01don't get water
06:03or electricity
06:05to drink.
06:07Because of this,
06:09villages like Radha, Neshra
06:11and Lapadia
06:13have to live in darkness.
06:15Let's see when the government
06:17will free these villages from darkness.
