Anger and aggressiveness everywhere

Those staffs were only doing their jobs. Always cooperate with the neighborhood as an electric distribution staff whenever you go for disconnection of electricity, people are angry with current hike in prices of commodities.

Let them produce the bottle breaker and let the long arm of.the law do justice to him. He needs to be sent somewhere he can calm down and made to pay damages. The people are getting used to darkness and that is why make powerbank for basic household needs available. Do you need laptop powerbank it phone or Tv? I have for sale. Can be recharged by Solar, phcb and generator. The good times are here, let's embrace technology.
