Tensions ran high in Alot as a political dispute broke out over an electricity transformer. The electricity department's junior engineer, Deepak Sharma, and Alot tehsildar, Sonam Bhagat, arrived at Jhangaria village to disconnect the connection to the transformer, which had been installed without official permission.
The situation drew the attention of independent assembly candidate Premchand Guddu, who is running in Alot. Guddu publicly pointed out the difficulties faced by farmers in obtaining irrigation due to the lack of an authorised transformer. It had been brought to his attention that the villagers had personally funded the transformer's installation, only for its connection to be cut, reportedly at the instigation of BJP candidate Chintamani Malviya and Congress MLA Manoj Chawla.
Guddu then engaged in discussions with the electricity department officials to address the issue. According to Deepak Sharma, he had reached the location after receiving information about the unauthorised transformer and had documented the situation for further action.
Both BJP candidate Chintamani Malviya and Alot MLA Manoj Chawla denied the allegations, claiming to be unaware of the matter. As the controversy continues to boil, the local community waits for a resolution to this transformer dispute that has become a major point of discussion in the lead-up to the elections.
