The central government recently said that all Indian villages have been electrified. However, this claim isn’t true. There is one village in Uttar Pradesh that still awaits power lines.

The sulabh shauchalayas (public toilets) are half-built, water supply doesn’t exist and there is total darkness after sunset, transporting the whole area to the dark ages, activist Omkar Bhardwaj told IANS.
