Residents of Nauwagadhi market in Munger Sadar block are expressing strong anger over a high mast light that has been non-functional for several months. The light, installed under the MP quota on the recommendation of former MLA Pranav Yadav, has reportedly not worked even for a single day since its installation.

Pankaj Paswan and Balam Kumar, office bearers of the Shiv Mandir and Durga Puja Committee, stated that the continuous darkness in the market due to the faulty light is causing significant inconvenience to the local populace. They are puzzled as to why the light remains non-operational. Villagers lament that despite the department installing the light, it serves no purpose as it fails to illuminate the area.

Committee officials and villagers have urged the administration to address the issue immediately and ensure the high mast light is made functional without delay. They have warned of launching a protest if prompt action is not taken. Several members of the Shiv Mandir and Durga Puja Committee, along with other villagers, were present to voice their discontent.
