Once Electrified, Hundreds Of Indian Villages Back In The Dark Age

Houses stand in the village of Bhamana, Maharashtra, India, on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017. Bhamana, a place with no proper road connectivity for at least 12 kilometers, was powered through small scale renewable power sources as part of a drive to take electricity to every village in Maharashtra which was declared a fully electrified state in 2012. India considers a village electrified if at least 10 percent of the households and public places have electricity. But theft and damage have plunged 288 villages and 1,500 hamlets in Maharashtra back into darkness, according to to Dinesh Saboo, projects director at Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co Ltd., the states power retailer.
