Madhya Pradesh:13 villages of Narmada valley (District Alirajpur) came under submergence. They were shifted in Falia Kadaipani of Village Kakrana. It is fully electrified. Some villagers shifted to nearby areas. These are new Falias. All revenue villages are electrified.

In Raisen District, Khananpura Village is already electrified & intensive electrification in associated Tola is in progress. The other 5 villages namely- Jaitgarh, Bili, Pond, Ramgarha and Gopalpur are forest villages wherein Households have been electrified with Solar Power.

Rajasthan: All inhabited revenue/census villages in Dholpur district are reported by the state Government to be electrified. The names of the Villages reported in the news article are in fact Dhanis and not the revenue/census village.

Intensive electrification works of Gole ka Pura & Shankar Pura Dhanis have been completed. In remaining Dhanis-Ghuraiya Hera, Hathiyakar, Kehri ka Nagla, Haripura & Thakur Pura, the IE works are in progress. The Rajghat Village is presently covered under Municipal area of Dholpur

Jharkhand: The Saprum Village was listed as electrified since long – apparently under the RGGVY. Due to poor quality of work the supply was disrupted. This is being set right.

Responsible people are expected to cross check/verify the facts before commenting.
