A newly constructed 33/11 KV electrical substation in Simanbadi, Daringbadi block, Kandhamal district remains non-functional despite completion. Authorities cite staff shortages for the delay. This has led to frequent power outages affecting thousands of consumers in Simanbadi, Kirikuti, Tilori, and surrounding areas. Essential services like healthcare, banking, and local businesses are severely impacted. Despite multiple complaints to the District Collector and promises from the Assistant Executive Engineer, the substation has not been commissioned even after several months. https://www.dharitri.com/consumers-unhappy-due-to-power-outage-in-daringbadi/ #creator program
