Chikhaldara: Even after 75 years of Independence, 21 villages in Melghat do not have an electricity supply. There is no road in 40 villages and more than 150 villages still do not even have State Transport Board (ST) buses. More than 15 villages do not have mobile range facilities. In such a situation, the tribals, believing in democracy, exercised their right to vote on April 26. Despite the stigma of malnutrition and the subsequent collapse of development schemes worth crores of rupees, the reality in Melghat is still grim. In many villages, tribals are deprived of the corporation's buses, electricity supply, roads, and mobile range to the village due to lack of basic facilities.Also Read | Maharashtra Lok Sabha Election 2024: 10 Senior Voters Died Before Voting, One Passed Away an Hour After Polling in Madha ConstituencyMany villages without mobile rangeThe fact is that there is no mobile range in the Hatru, Jarida, and Bairagarh belt of Melghat, located on the Madhya Pradesh border.
