New Delhi: A small village in Jammu and Kashmir finally got rid of darkness on Wednesday when electricity, under the Central Government’s ‘Untied Grants Scheme’, reached the place.

Electricity reached Saddal village 75 years after Indian independence.

As the houses have got electrified, natives of this village turned hopeful for a better future for their children. Earlier, the only source of light during the evening in the village was candles and oil lamps, which gradually became a part of their day-to-day life, reports ANI.

Students and other people of the village appreciated the stance.

“Now we can read comfortably without any problem. Earlier, due to the absence of electricity, we had to read lighting oil lamps, which used to make the task more tedious,” Pyar Singh, an eighth standard student, told ANI.
