The tribal residents of Gorai can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. This paper had reported that for at least five generations, they have been living without electricity in their homes.
Now, Reliance Energy has been granted a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to set up a power station and cables to electrify the hamlets. In May, the residents told this paper that promises of electricity had remained tied up in red tape for decades. As many as 400 homes in the tribal hamlets would plunge into darkness every evening, even as Mumbai's lights blazed on in the horizon, just 20 km away.
