Seventeen villages in Chhattisgarh's Naxal-hit Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki district received electricity from the supply grid for the first time, PTI reported citing officials. The villages, with difficult terrain and Naxalite threat, previously had access to solar power to light up bulbs but faced maintenance issues. Of 540 families in these villages, 275 have received power connections so far.
