Murdeshwar: The locals have appealed the concerned authorities to install quality and standardised electric poles besides the main road. A memorandum has been submitted to irrigation officer in this regard.

As the main road widening is in progress at Murdeshwar, not much consideration is given for the installation of electric poles. Since the roads are used mostly by school-going kids, the electric poles must have a stronger base. Furthermore, many poles are on the verge of falling, the protestors said.

Jayant Naik, Shridhar Naik, Devendra Naik and others were present.
