Bengaluru: The number of registrations for the “Gruha Jyothi” scheme reached to a whooping 12.51 Lakhs as of 21st June, said BESCOM. However, with the government portal Seva Sindhu witnessing a large number of traffic and experiencing lags on the very first two days, the state government has introduced another easy method to register for the registration of the scheme.

The state government has provided separate User IDs and passwords to every electricity office, enabling consumers to register applications smoothly in the electricity offices also. The move is set to reduce the number of traffic and huge pressure on the Seva Sindhu portal.

At the same time, BESCOM has also shared an update on the last date for the registration for the Gruha Jyothi scheme.

Jaipur, Dec 24: Efforts to rescue a three-year-old girl who fell into a 150 feet deep borewell in Kotputli-Behror district of Rajasthan continued on Tuesday.

The girl, Chetna, fell into the borewell while playing in the agriculture farm of her father on Monday.

SHO Sarund Mohammad Imran said teams of NDRF and SDRF are trying to rescue the girl safely.

Senior Commandant of NDRF Yogesh Meena said, "After failing to safely pull out the girl from the borewell with a ring rod, efforts are being made to pull her out with another local equipment made of iron plate."

The girl's actions were captured on camera and an oxygen pipe was lowered into the borewell to supply oxygen.

Two weeks ago, a five-year-old child fell into a borewell in Dausa district. The rescue operation to rescue the child safely lasted for more than 55 hours. However, by the time he was pulled out, the child had lost the battle of life.
