Even after 15 years, 24-hour power supply from Nakkarta-Medipalli substation is not available..! Electricity officials have broken promises given in the Gram Sabha – frequent power outages even with light rain, anger among the people Punnami News Representative 14 June 2026 Rangareddy District Ibrahimpatnam Constituency In-charge: The people of Nakkarta-Medipalli villages in Yacharam mandal of Rangareddy district are facing serious problems due to power supply problems. Even though it has been almost 15 years since the power substation was opened in the village, the locals are expressing their concern that the villagers are still not getting uninterrupted 24-hour power supply. At that time, the officials had assured that farmers, household consumers and small traders would get better power services through the substation set up for the development of the village. However, the villagers say that the power problems have increased with the passage of time. They allege that especially after the onset of the rainy season, it has become a common thing for the power supply to be interrupted even if there is a slight drizzle or a gust of wind. The electricity department officials participated in the recently held gram sabha and listened to the problems of the villagers. On this occasion, they assured the people that they would provide quality electricity supply for 24 hours. However, the villagers are expressing their concern that those promises were limited to words and that there is no change in the situation even today. Housewives, students and the elderly are facing severe difficulties due to frequent power cuts. People are facing difficulties in sleeping due to the interruption of electricity supply at night. Parents say that the students are also facing problems in their education due to the power outages while they are studying. Farmers are also facing problems in providing water to their crops due to power outages. Farmers are expressing concern that the non-functioning agricultural boreholes are negatively affecting the crop yield. They want the authorities to think about what the situation will be like in other areas if this is the case only in the village where the substation is located. The villagers are demanding that the electricity department officials respond immediately and take steps to ensure uninterrupted 24-hour electricity supply to Nakkarta-Medipalli villages. They want the promises made in the gram sabha to be implemented and the problems of the people to be solved permanently. The villagers are warning that if the concerned authorities do not respond to this matter and resolve the problems of the villagers, they will have to take up agitation programs along with public representatives. “Villagers are demanding 24-hour power supply to Nakkarta-Medipalli villages.” Punnami News Special Article
