    What people in Babhanauli Khurd are saying

    11 neighbours have shared what matters to them — in their own words.

    “Instead of removing smart meters, install prepaid meters so that farmers benefit. Even three units of electricity were consumed, brother, and that's a lot. For example, a fan in the summer season.”

    “स्मार्ट मीटर हटा करके नहीं पैसा मीटर लगाइए तो किसानों को फायदा हो। तीन लीटर बिजली खर्च हो गई लंबा समान भाई। गर्मी के मौसम में पंखा”

    translated from Hindi

There's also evident frustration regarding the lack of clear guidelines or procedures for officials to address citizen concerns effectively. On a positive note, citizens are suggesting practical alternatives like installing prepaid meters for farmers 💡 to ensure fairer and more manageable electricity costs.
