Everyone started demanding restoration of electricity and arrest of the youth who cut off electricity of others.

About an hour later, a gang of youths wearing masks attacked the Madhuban police station after cutting electricity.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

They started moving towards the police station, firing several rounds and bombing.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Due to this the policemen themselves started running here and there to save their lives.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

There was also a scuffle with the policemen.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Many people including a policeman were injured in stone pelting.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Firing was done in front of Mahuda Circle Inspector, but the police remained a mute spectator.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

The incident created chaos here.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

People somehow saved their lives by running away.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

It was a coincidence that the people protesting were inside the police station.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Otherwise a big accident could have happened.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

On receiving the information, Dhanbad Rural SP reached the spot and took information about the matter.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

People told that the electricity of number 14 feeder was cut off by some anti-social elements of Kharkhari colony.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

A population of 15 thousand is affected by this and the company's production is stopped.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

It is not appropriate to cut off electricity and water in public interest in this scorching heat.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

At present the atmosphere here remains tense.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

People have given a written complaint to the police.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Due to the storm on Thursday night, there was no electricity in the BCCL Govindpur area.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

In this area, electricity comes from Madhuban DG through feeder numbers 14 and 16.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Electricity was restored to number 14 on Friday evening, but electricity to number 16 could not be restored due to it being damaged in Madhuban.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Due to this, youth from Kharkhari colony and other places cut off electricity number 14 in Kharkhari sub station.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

These people said that until number 16 electricity does not come.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Till then power to number 14 will also remain cut.

<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->

On getting information about this, some youths from several villages reached Kharkhari late on Friday night and started abusing and even fighting for the restoration of the cut electricity.
