फतेहगढ़ | राजा हतम वेग

Power Supply Woes and Health Service Quality Under Scrutiny

During a program organized in Fatehgarh under the Chief Minister's Jan Vishwas Abhiyan on November 14, 2026, local MLA Rishi Agarwal sharply criticized administrative officials regarding the inconsistent electricity supply and the quality of health services at the district hospital.

MLA Agarwal, representing Bamoree, raised critical regional issues and questioned the implementation of government schemes before the Collector, Superintendent of Police, and other departmental officials present.

Farmers Demand Consistent Power Supply

The MLA specifically highlighted the irregular electricity supply to farmers, stating they have been receiving only assurances for the past 20-25 days. Despite paying electricity bills, they are not receiving power according to the schedule set by the government.

He leveled serious allegations against the electricity department's functioning, citing a lack of proper maintenance for wires and poles in the area. The MLA emphasized that while the government has provisioned for 10 hours of electricity, farmers are only receiving about 4 hours of supply.

"The provision is for 10 hours of electricity, but farmers are only getting 4 hours."

The MLA challenged the administration, asserting that if the department were allowed to function independently, the power system could be improved within 24 hours. He stressed the critical need for eight hours of regular electricity supply with proper voltage to irrigate farmers' crops, calling it a lifeline that requires immediate attention.

Concerns Raised Over District Hospital Referrals

Commenting on the state of health services, MLA Rishi Agarwal expressed deep concern over the functioning of the district hospital. He noted a frequent practice of referring patients to higher centers without a concrete or valid reason, despite the same treatments being readily available at private hospitals.

The MLA termed this practice as an excuse by the health department. However, he did acknowledge and appreciate the Collector for some improvements in the district's health services over the past three months, specifically highlighting positive changes in local hospitals in Bamoree.

Officials Promise Swift Resolution

At the conclusion of the program, the concerned officials assured the attending representatives that the issues raised would be resolved promptly. A large number of farmers and local villagers were present at the event, hopeful for a resolution to their problems.
