After police personnel posted especially to guard politicians, India is now going to have its first police station exclusively to guard electricity. Yes, you read right - electricity. At least three sub-inspectors and a dozen constables would comprise this station, which is slated to come up in Agra where power theft is the cause for almost half of the electricity consumed. But power theft is not the only major problem that is facing the country. The cost of power sold by a number of power generating companies, especially during periods of high demand, has been extremely high, thus leading to huge jump in prices. Seems like as much as India needs power, it is being deprived of the same!
