JAJARKOT, Nov 24: The dream of more than 300 households of Khagenkot-5 and 6 in the district to illuminate their houses have not been fulfilled yet for lack of budget to buy electric poles.
Although 13 KW electricity generated from Khamaure rivulet has gone wastage, they have been compelled to live in darkness.
