About Independence Day in Small Paragraph
(Translation of an excellent article from Thuglak, a Tamil fortnightly)

They can return to their houses once the power supply is restored. As citizens are having freedom to complain regarding power failures, the officials of Electricity Board are also having equal freedom to keep the phone receivers off the hook always.
