Amidst the ongoing power woes in Hubli, Karnataka, farmers resorted to a rather unconventional protest. Frustrated with erratic power cuts that disrupted their agricultural routines, they decided to make a statement by bringing an unexpected guest to the office of the Hubli Electricity Supply Company (HESCOM). Their primary concern was the increased danger they faced from wild animals and snakes when they had to work on their fields during the night due to inadequate power supply during the day.
