Tribal Villagers Protest Lack of Electricity with Torches

Imagine a village called Dabbalapadu, high on a hill where many tribal families live.

For many years, they haven't had electricity, which means it gets very dark for half the day.

To show how dark it is, they recently ate their dinner using only torches made of sticks and cloth.

Even though a solar power station was built nearby a long time ago, it doesn't work anymore and never gave them power.

They also don't have clean water and have to get it from a stream, which can make them sick.

If someone gets really sick, they have to be carried for a long time down the hill to get help because there are no roads.

Because life is so hard without these basic things, many families have moved away.

The villagers are asking the government to finally bring them electricity, water, and roads so they can live better lives.
