01:45The authorities come and ask us to give electricity and electricity.

02:26Radha Nesda and Lappadiya village of Vavthaluka are on the border of India and Pakistan.

02:32Even after independence, the village is deprived of electricity.

02:38The people of these two villages have not received electricity till date.

02:42The most important thing is that Radha Nesda village has come to make the world's largest solar park.

02:48This solar park is supposed to provide electricity to the entire Gujarat.

02:52But the neighboring village is deprived of electricity.

02:56So, the locals have to struggle for electricity.

03:00And as evening falls, there is darkness in both these villages.

03:04In Lappadiya village, 70 to 80 families live.

03:08In Radha Nesda village, 600 families live.

03:11As a result, more than 50 houses in the Ganiya Gathiya village received electricity six months ago.

03:17But even today, 500 to 550 families live in a dark environment.

03:22They have only one wish, that they get electricity by evening.

03:27There is no electricity in our village.

03:34So, what kind of trouble do you have without electricity?

03:36There is no electricity in our village.

03:41So, you don't have a leader?

03:43We don't have a leader.

03:45People are going to their homes.

03:47There is no money left to buy electricity.

03:50We are not even able to get electricity.

03:54What do you want?

03:57We want electricity.

03:59If there is electricity in our village, it will be dark.

04:27Whenever there is an emergency, the leaders of these villages keep talking big.

04:33But it is not seen that anyone has tried to provide electricity in these villages so far.

04:38Therefore, the locals are also facing a hidden politics from the government.

04:43On the other hand, there is electricity in the primary schools along with the panchayat homes and government pharmacies.

04:48But there is still no electricity in the homes of the homeless families in the villages.

05:10Many politicians have promised me, but I have not been able to get any electricity.

05:23I know that there is no electricity, so I live in the dark.

05:27How can children grow up in the dark?

05:29What do you want?

05:31I want to tell the government that there are many promises that have been made, but they are not true.

05:35I want to tell the people that there is no electricity in this village.

05:41There is a solar plant in this village.

05:46But there is no electricity in this village.
