The 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections was the first time The Mooknayak reported an election from the ground. Over the past two months, our team had spread out across UP to live and report from among the people, even though lack of finances prevented them from carrying out more extensive coverage.
Quite a few of the stories we did remain outside the spotlight of mainstream media till today. Among them was a report on an area in Ballia district that lacks electricity till today, 75 years after Independence. Within a few hours of the story being released, the Ballia electricity department took cognisance of it and promised to ensure power supply to the area within three months.
