In Pratapgarh News, over 250 families have been living in darkness for a month due to a malfunctioning transformer. Despite the passing of a month, the faulty transformer has not been replaced. This situation has plunged neighborhoods like Nishad Basti, Dalit Basti, Thakur Basti, and Sharma Basti into darkness. People are enduring the scorching heat, their daily lives disrupted as flour mills and water pumps remain idle. Charging mobile phones requires them to venture into markets.
