Neemuch (Madhya Pradesh): Locals of Dunglavada village on Tuesday submitted a memorandum to the collector during a public hearing, opposing the installation of 132 kV high-voltage electric poles in densely populated areas of the village.

The residents expressed additional concern over waterlogging during the monsoon season, stating that heavy rainfall and technical faults could increase the danger of electric current spread and other mishaps. They also said the village population is expected to grow in the coming years, which would further increase safety risks.
According to the villagers, they had earlier submitted objections before the Gram Panchayat, but no effective action followed.
The villagers demanded that the administration shift the proposed 132 kV line and poles outside the populated area to ensure public safety and prevent future accidents.
