Scuffle

At least eight people have been injured after violence erupted between the villagers of Mahtodih and JSEB officials at the Board’s Giridih office. According to JSEB sources, the scuffle started after the villagers demanded a 100MV transformer instead of the usual 63MV, which was burnt a fortnight ago.
