Darkness again today in the forest where the Prime Minister installed the lights
Dehradun. In the forest where the Prime Minister had got the lights installed on the letter of a young woman, at present it is dark there. The villagers pleaded with the officials to the CM, but there is no hearing anywhere. Which is quite unfortunate.
It is worth noting that on the way from Jakhan to Johdi village, the forest starts as soon as the climb ends. This forest is like a paradise for drug addicts and bhangadis. Here, sitting inside the forest, he fulfills his intoxication and darkness proves to be a boon for him. There is no one to see them in the dark and the common man does not even need to stop there.
About two years ago, a young woman wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, writing down all the agony. Taking which very seriously, lights were installed there on the initiative of the Prime Minister. Due to which the area of the forest became illuminated and the common people did not have any problem in passing through there. Now that place had become a danger for drug addicts and anti-social elements and they were now able to do anything openly. In the meantime, the wishes of the addicts were fulfilled and the lights installed there got spoiled and once again the rule of darkness prevailed there. The villagers complained about this to the departmental officers several times at the local level, but the officials heard from one ear and removed it from the other ear. After this, some conscious villagers also put their complaint on the Chief Minister’s Portal, but there was no hearing. Now it is a matter to think that while the state government seems committed to make Modi’s dreams come true, the place where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was buzzing is currently dark, why no one is paying attention to it. It’s something to think about in yourself.
