On the issue of erection of Steel Tubular Poles, Sheikh said the area has been grappling with immense power cuts and the ramshackled condition of the wooden poles.

"While the government under schemes like DDUGJY is working assiduously to replace old wooden poles with STP's, this locality in Parimpora remains in constant fear over the decaying condition of wooden poles.
