Viral Video: Losing electricity connections, especially during the daytime, has turned into an issue for multiple cities. However, it’s safe to say that the electricity department is not cutting connections for their personal pleasure, but the loss of connection is rather about how much a certain place can consume, based on electricity production. Despite this, several instances of people losing their cool at electricity department employees have come forward on social media. Joining the list, a recent case went viral from Rajasthan’s Balotra. A video over the same was shared online, where some locals were seen indulging in a fight with allegedly an Assistant Engineer of the Electricity Department.
What exactly triggered the brawl or who started it was unclear, but as per the viral post, the matter was over electricity connection. The date of the incident could not be confirmed.
The video was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘Navaya Election Management Company’. The post was captioned, “In Balotara district, there was a fight between the assistant engineer of the electricity department and the house owner over the issue of electricity connection. Immediate action must be taken against the culprits.”

The video, soon after getting shared, went viral and left people reacting. Most chastised the way the electricity departments cut the electricity connections more than often, while the rest expressed curiosity to know what happened at the beginning of the clip. The post was shared yesterday and pulled 53K views from people.
Taking to the internet, people shared their take. “The entire family beat up the Junior Engineer, but he is still so egoistic. It would have been better if he had joined hands and just left. After leaving he would have done whatever he had to do,” a user said. “There is a serious problem with electricity. The number of times they cut it, it's just bizarre,” added another.
“Why does everyone start recording as soon as a fight ensues?” asked a third person. “Very good treatment for Ghuskhor Jr Engineer,” added a fourth user. @RajPoliceHelp kindly look into this. A govt employee is beating a woman,” added a fifth person. “What is even happening? And I need to know who started the fight,” wrote another.
