Bad news about electricity for Shanti Nivas

Victor wrote yesterday

"Shanti Nivas campus electricity not yet restored even after 20 days , as there was 12 poles fell down during cyclone which lines comes from village called Vendram , all these poles were in farmers paddy fields.  At present there is water and loose muddy soil until knee height in the fields and farmers are objecting to replace the poles as they are asking reimbursement for the loss from government.So at present there is no hope that Shanti Nivas campus will get electricity for another few months, until crops are harvested and paddy land has become dried.      (This is not expected until January after the Pongal holidays) 

Presently we are running Shanti Nivas campus on generator. 

I am planning to file a petition to district authorities ( Dist Collector )  and see what happens".
