Raghopur Flood Victims Rely on Paid Phone Charging as Electricity Cut

Raghopur, the constituency of former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav, is grappling with rising river levels that have flooded streets and homes. With the power grid shut down, residents cannot depend on home outlets. The only reliable way to stay connected is to use a generator‑run charging stall that costs Rs 20 per device. Families say the mobile phone is their sole channel to contact relatives, receive emergency alerts, and coordinate relief efforts.
